Abstract:		 Three separate archaeological investigations were undertaken at Longbridge in Birmingham on the site of the former MG Rover North Works car park and on the site of the former video shop and bank at the west end of Longbridge Lane, in south Birmingham (National Grid reference SP 0090 7755). These detected the remains of Longbridge House, palaeochannels and a broad area of organic alluvium. Environmental analysis and subsequent radiocarbon dating has indicated that the earliest of these deposits within a palaeochannel date to the early medieval period, 890 cal AD to 920 cal AD and 940 cal AD to 1040 cal AD. Subsequent broad areas of organic alluvium overlying this channel began to form in the late medieval/early post-medieval period, 1460 cal AD to 1650 cal AD. The general environmental sequence observed is one of a wooded riverine landscape becoming cleared and replaced by a grassland landscape that seems to have persisted until the development of the industrial site in the early 20th century. Stone and brick walls and cobbled yard surfaces were recorded below the video shop. Artefactual evidence suggest that this building dated originally to the 18th century, and was, therefore, constructed at much the same time as Longbridge Farm located on the opposite side of the lane.
