Abstract: |
An excavation was undertaken on behalf of Drivers Jonas LLP and Realis Estates Limited at 25-31 Carrs Lane, Birmingham (NGR SP 0731 8688). It uncovered the presence of continual domestic occupation from the late medieval/early post-medieval interface to the present day, with further evidence of small scale 'cottage' Industry being noted in the form of cloth dyeing and possible bone working. Substantial post-medieval terracing was revealed with large quantities of imported material and industrial waste being used to remove the natural gradient of the slope before a number of buildings were built on the site in the 19th Century. These were in use well into the 20th Century before they were demolished after the Second World War during the redevelopment of the area, the last being demolished as late as 1988. |
