Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Exchange Square, Birmingham (NGR SP 07473 87124). It was undertaken on behalf of Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd, who intend to construct a mixed use development at Masshouse Plot 7, for which a planning application has been approved (ref 2014/06135/PA and 2016/06135/PA). The majority of the site had been heavily truncated by the construction and demolition of an elevated roadway (Masshouse Circus) that once crossed the development area. Archaeological features, mostly brick walls and cellars of late 19th and early 20th century date, survived to the north east of the former Masshouse Circus which had belonged to the industrial buildings and factories that once occupied the development site. These mostly comprised elements of the former pork processing plant belonging to Marsh and Baxter Ltd, Morley and Newey glass and lead works and to Gaskell and Chambers bar fitters. |
