Abstract: |
Border Archaeology was instructed by Bryden Wood Associates on behalf of Orchard Select Developments and Cobra Properties Ltd to undertake Archaeological Field Evaluation on the site of the former Antiques Showroom Pepper Lane Ludlow. Pepper Lane and the immediate vicinity was the chief focus of the tailors' trade in Ludlow from the 13th to the 17th Century. Documentary evidence shows that the area to the south of Pepper Lane, which includes the site, was called 'Tailor's Yard' in the mid-13th Century. The evaluation results reflected the significance of Pepper Lane during the medieval period. The substantial building remains uncovered suggested that a property of some importance once stood on the site, possibly comprising a dwelling and warehouse. A series of 19th Century demolition deposits observed in much of the evaluation trenching, together with a paucity of earlier pottery, appear to reflect major redevelopment of the area at that time, sealing beneath them earlier layers of potential medieval date. |
