Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Border Archaeology on behalf of United Developments upon the instruction of David Dickinson Architects at the site of the former clay pipe factory located at the junction of Whitburn Street and Pound Street, Bridgnorth, Shropshire (NGR: SO 71356 93124). The factory was established by Thomas Parsons Southorn Jr, a member of the influential pipe-making family of Broseley, and continued to operate until c. 1885. The purpose of the evaluation was to ascertain the survival or otherwise of the suspected medieval occupation of the site and anticipated 19th century clay pipe factory thereon and to devise a suitable strategy for its preservation or recording. The evaluation has revealed no record of medieval occupation but significant evidence of clay pipe manufacture, including the remains of a kiln base and indications of workshop / storage buildings, together with a considerable amount of waste pipe material. |
