Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at the former MG Rover North Works and North Works Car Park, Longbridge, Birmingham (National Grid reference SP 0090 7755). The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate what its location, date and nature were. The archaeological evaluation identified stonewalls and cobbled surfaces, which are the remains of Longbridge Farm. Pottery recovered suggested that the farm dated to the late 17th century and was potentially even earlier. Trenching also identified the former course of the River Rea, which once crossed the site and demonstrated the survival of a broad area of alluvial deposits, which have the potential to provide information on the past environment of the area. |
