Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting at The Angel Inn, 76 Load Street, Bewdley, Worcestershire (NGR: SO 78671 75406; HER ref WSM 58044). The development entailed the creation of a single storey extension and a disabled access. The former Angel Inn lies within the historic core of Bewdley on Load Street, close to the bridge over the River Severn. The present building, of mock Tudor style, was built in the 20th Century, set back from the street frontage. Map evidence demonstrates that an older building, also the Angel Inn, stood on the street frontage and was demolished prior to the construction of the present building. A single L-shaped trench was excavated in the footprint of the proposed extension to the rear of the former public house. Alluvial clay was recorded at the base of this trench. The foundation of a sandstone wall, with a dressed face to the north-west, was recorded crossing the trench. This is thought to represent the surviving back wall of the earlier inn or a related building. Two postholes, still containing posts were also recorded. The finds assemblage, comprising clay pipes and a sherd from a drinking vessel is consistent with the use of the site as a public house. Made ground, probably imported during the construction of the present building and a surface of blue engineering bricks lay over these features. This was in turn overlaid by a tarmac surface and base.
