Abstract: |
The desk-based research has found that the development site lies within the medieval core of the town of Ulverston, on one of the important historic routes into the town, and that it retains the medieval tenement plot layout. The buildings on the site were modified between 1856 and 1891, and would have retained much of their earlier fabric, and are known to have dated to at least 1832, and probably earlier. In the late 19th century they were known as Albert Buildings and utilised by Ulverston Remnant Warehouse, liquidated in 1894 The watching brief at 2 Soutergate, Ulverston did not reach any archaeological or natural deposits beyond context (100).This deposit comprised of a made up layer that is likely to have been a levelling surface for the building that formerly stood on this location. Archaeological deposits associated with the historical use of the site, as recorded in the desk based assessment are potentially preserved below this levelling deposit. No finds were discovered during the course of the watching brief. |
