Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Sheffield City Council to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with flood alleviation works at Nursery Street, Sheffield, South Yorkshire (NGR SK 35670 87906), adjacent to the River Don. This work followed on from a scheme of evaluation and building recording undertaken by Wessex Archaeology in 2010. The programme of archaeological works was undertaken in line with a Written Scheme of Investigation produced by Wessex Archaeology, and approved by the South Yorkshire Archaeology Service, advisors to the Local Planning Authority. Several structures were identified during the monitoring which could be associated with the Cocker Bros Nursery Wire Works, which occupied the site from the 1850s. There was a good correlation between the features identified and historic mapping for the site, particularly the 1896 Goad Insurance plan. At the south of the site were a vaulted basement, flue and probable steam boiler base, most likely associated with a steam engine powering machinery in the works. The basement may also have been linked to a known area of crucible cellars preserved at the southern extent of the site. A machine base located nearby probably formed part of the power transmission within the works. In the central and northern areas of the site additional identified structures included remnants of walls, steps, stone sett surfaces, a flagstone surface and flue, and drains. Preservation of structures on the site was excellent, and most of the structures recorded were preserved in situ.
