Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by NMC Nomenca, on behalf of Severn Trent Water, to carry out an archaeological watching brief during the groundworks for the construction of a UV disinfection kiosk within the boundary of the Green Street Pumping Station, Kidderminster, Worcestershire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SO 83038 75926. The results of the watching brief identified two distinct phases of activity on the site. The earliest indicated a series of deposits associated with the distribution of rubbish, most likely domestic but possibly industrial due to the presence of a number of carpet factories in the vicinity. Finds from this early phase indicate a deposition date centred primarily on the first half of the 19th century, with a number of finds of later date. The second phase of activity was associated with the construction and occupation of a former engineer's house and outbuildings, dating from the end of the 19th century, up to 1973 when the buildings were demolished. The project archive resulting from the archaeological works will be deposited with Worcestershire County Museum. Deposition of any finds with the Museum will only be carried out with the full agreement of the landowner. The archive is currently held at the offices of Wessex Archaeology in Sheffield under site code 112282. |
