Abstract:		 Strip, map and record exercise to investigate the site of late post-medieval probable industrial buildings depicted on 19th century mapping. The investigations were undertaken at the former premises of manufacturing firm Atkinson and Kirby ahead of re-development of the site for housing. The most substantial building to be recorded was located at the eastern end of Trench 1, the westernmost of two excavation areas. The structure was originally built in stone, probably in the first half of the 19th century, and subsequently underwent two stages of extension and modification probably during the second half of the 19th century. The purpose of the structure remains unclear; it may have originally been a farmhouse associated with agricultural land to the north. Cobbled surfaces exposed at the western end of Trench 1 can confidently be linked to an early 20th-century saw mill and timber yard depicted on mapping of this period in the western part of the overall site, this possibly the earliest premises of Atkinson and Kirby.
