Abstract:		 In January 2017, John Moore Heritage Services conducted a watching brief in advance of development at Severn Valley Railway, Station Lane, Bridgnorth, Shropshire WV16 5DT. This was due to Shropshire Council has granting planning permission for the erection of a 2-storey building to include workshop/stores/office and staff facilities and 53-bed hostel accommodation; single storey cafe building; refurbishment of station building to include retail area; elevational alterations; removal of temporary buildings and provision of additional car parking and associated works (16/00156/FUL). The watching brief involved the monitoring the excavation of service trenches for drainage for the new building that keyed into the existing drains on site. The first stage of work involved the excavation of a 0.6m wide, 15m long and 1m deep trench along the north-eastern extent of the development site connecting the existing manhole to a proposed manhole. The second stage of work involved the continuation of the trench to the southwest for 14m to link up the manholes. A final stage of work involved the continuation of the trench to the southeast for 9m, together with two short offset trenches to the southwest. The trench was 0.6m wide and 0.5m deep and only cut through the disturbed ground and did not reach the natural clay. After discussions with the developer it was decided that this phase of the watching brief was halted as the rest of the groundworks for the building would not impact below the depth of 0.5m and would only truncate the made ground. The site was devoid of any archaeological features and was heavily disturbed by modern services.
