Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Bellway Homes Limited, through CgMs Consulting Limited, to undertake archaeological trial trenching on land between the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal and Clensmore Street, Kidderminster, Worcestershire. The work was carried out in response to a planning application for construction of 240 new houses and associated roads and landscaping (Planning Application Reference WF/11/0163). The site was previously occupied by an iron foundry, carpet factory, corn mill and associated buildings. The Site is centred on grid reference NGR SO 8287 7742. Only four of an originally proposed nine trenches could be excavated during this phase of works, due to access difficulties within the area to the north of the investigated area. The excavations revealed that the southern part of the site (Trench 1) had been extensively truncated in recent history and no evidence of the mid-19th century iron foundry was revealed. Elsewhere, two brick walls probably formed part of structures to the south of a 19th century corn mill was revealed in Trench 2. The north-western and south-eastern external walls of the 1866 carpet works were recorded in Trench 3. Trench 4 was located to the east of a corn mill, where a subterranean hot air flue was uncovered, which extended beyond the limits of excavation. A second possible flue was also revealed to the south, as well as later cobbled and brick floor surfaces. Few material remains were recovered from the site, namely 19th/20th pot, glass and clay tobacco pipes of little intrinsic value.
