Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Sunrise Business Park, Wollaston, Stourbridge (centred on NGR SO 895 852) in advance of a residential development. It was undertaken on behalf of the Environmental Dimension Partnership, on behalf of their client, Revelan Group Plc, following the submission of a planning application to Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (reference number P11/0106). A desk-based assessment had identified the potential for the truncated remains of a mill, located on the River Stour, to survive on the site. The mill was first recorded in 1532 and it survived up until the 1960s, when it was demolished to construct a large industrial works. No structural remains relating to the medieval or early post-medieval mill were identified, although a section of river channel, which appears to have been straightened prior to 1699, was exposed up stream of the mill. The principle feature identified on the site was the main block of the mill. Historic mapping suggests one wall of the structure could have dated to the 18th century, although most of the other walls and internal features probably dated to between 1885 and 1902 when there was a period of intensive redevelopment on the site. A number of brick or concrete structures were identified within the mill. These related to the various manufacturing processes which took place on the site during the 19th and 20th centuries. Other features identified on the site included part of two buildings, both dating to c 1760 to 1827, one of which may have been the miller's house, and the other built to house a wheel or machinery. Part of a mill pond and a water management system, which probably also dated to between c 1760 and 1827, were also identified.
