Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken on behalf of Pam Brown Associates Ltd, at Millfields Road, Bilston, Wolverhampton (NGR: SO 934 963; BCSMR n/a). There is at present no evidence of activity predating the post-medieval/modern period in this area, which was formerly known as Catchems Corner. Millfields Road and Manor Road frontages were occupied by mid/late 19th century buildings of largely residential character, an early 19th century flour mill and a mid 19th century church. Colliery workings occupied the southern half of the study area. It is unclear if any of these buildings existed prior to the 19th century, although some settlement around the crossroads is recorded in the mid/late 18th century. The existing buildings date from the 1920s as part of the original John Thompson Engineering Co. Ltd, which became GKN Thompson Chasis. The former Holy Trinity church occupied the north-eastern corner of the site between 1834 and 1961. Although no burial registers exist, or any other documentary sources identified, there is purported to have been a burial interred either below or adjacent to the north aisle. Geotechnical survey work has revealed a great depth of industrial debris with redeposited sand and gravel over the entire site, probably the result of levelling up of the former colliery workings and the demolition of the flour mill. It is considered that there is little potential for archaeological remains of regional or national significance likely to be disturbed by the proposed development. However a scheme of archaeological involvement is envisaged, comprising photographic recording of the existing buildings prior to demolition, and a watching brief of all groundworks, particularly along the Millfields Road frontage.
