Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited on land off Lisburn Terrace in the Millfield area of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. The site, of overall size c. 6.75 hectares and with central National Grid Reference NZ 3835 5734, is bounded by Pallion New Road to the north, by a railway line and industrial premises to the west, and by terraced housing to the south and east. The fieldwork, undertaken September to October 2010, was commissioned by Prospect Archaeology Limited as part of the planning process ahead of a redevelopment scheme. Historical records indicate that the site remained largely undeveloped and in agricultural use until the second half of the 19th century. A large house, Diamond Hall, was located immediately to the north-west of the site, which lay within the associated estate. As this part of Sunderland industrialised rapidly in the late 19th century, Henry Greener established the Wear Flint Glass Works in the southern part of the site in the early 1870s. Subsequently, a pottery, an engineering works and a carpentry business occupied parts of the site, while the glass works expanded into a major operation, known as 'Jobling's' from the early 20th century. The works manufactured Pyrex from the 1920s, high quality pressed art glass in the 1930s and from 1973 the American glass manufacturer Corning's owned and operated the works. By 2008 all manufacturing had ceased at the site and the standing buildings were demolished ahead of the re-development scheme. The evaluation comprised five machine-excavated trenches (Trench 1-5). In summary, the work revealed archaeological remains of the late post-medieval/early modern industrial era in Trenches 2, 3, 4 and 5. The remains in Trenches 2 and 3 are considered to be of local to regional archaeological significance, with those in Trenches 4 and 5 of local significance at best, due to their lesser degree of preservation.
