Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in Forster Square, Bradford, ahead of the Broadway Centre redevelopment. Whilst much of the area had been disturbed by 19th century and more recent development and services, two adjacent trenches revealed pre-19th century structures overlying sealed deposits that produced pottery dating back to the medieval period. Consequently an open area excavation was initiated in order to more fully investigate and record these structures and deposits. The excavation provided evidence for a number of phases of activity on the site. The earliest of these included a building and tanning pits possibly dating to between the 15th and 17th centuries, followed by evidence of flooding, and then 17th century smithing activity. After a large quantity of cinders was deposited on the site during the 17th century, a building was constructed, probably during the early 18th century. By 1805, this building was an inn called The Wool Packs, and this underwent refurbishment and rebuilding, probably in the 1820s. By the late 1870s, this inn was demolished and a large statue plinth was erected in its place, and Forster Square came into existence, which survived as an open space until the most recent redevelopment of the area in the 1960s.
