Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological evaluation and watching brief at Derwentside Industrial Park, Belper, Derbyshire. The work was required by Derbyshire County Council as a condition of planning for the demolition and clearance of existing buildings for redevelopment for residential use at the site. The Derbyshire HER lists one non-designated heritage asset to be present within the development site; the Park Foundry Iron and Bricks Works (HER17094). An 'Iron Foundry' and 'Brick Field' are shown at the northern end of the site on late 19th century OS maps. The site had expanded southwards on an OS map at the end of the 19th century and is shown as 'Park Foundry (Iron)', with a 'Brick Works' on either side. The northern brick works is shown as disused on an early 20th century OS map. The site had expanded further southwards on a mid 20th century OS map with neither of the brick works being shown. The majority of standing buildings on the site had been demolished prior to the archaeological works. The northern end of the site, containing the evaluation trenches, displayed evidence of terracing and ground levelling, probably in order to place structures on the naturally steeply sloped site. Traces of a building relating to the Iron Works, present on the site by 1891, were recorded in Trench 1, which continued into the watching brief area, with a possible footpath created sometime between 1900 and 1914 recorded in Trench 3. Trench 2 displayed evidence of demolition activity. |
