| Abstract: |
In December 2017 ADAS carried out an archaeological watching brief for Torus 62 Development Company Ltd of groundworks for geotechnical trial Pits on land bounded by Corporation Street, Pocket Nook Street, and Atlas Street (centred on NGR: SJ 5187 9551). The available evidence suggested that the near surface remains are relatively late 19th components of St. Helens' industrial landscape. It is considered highly likely that deeper buried remains relating to the 18th century industrial landscape of St Helens are sealed below these higher deposits and have the potential to be well preserved. It is recommended that further archaeological strip map and sample excavation be undertaken on the northern part of the Site prior to any further development. This is primarily due to the presence of shallower, near surface structural remains possibly relating to the former Pocket Nook Smelting Works in that part of the Site. |
