Abstract: |
The desk-based assessment was required to inform a planning application for mixed use redevelopment at the site. Cartographic and documentary research were undertaken for the assessment, and a site visit. The area was developed in the 19th century, with brick works shown in the vicinity in 1853. A building was shown within the site at that date, possibly associated with the brick works. The streets were laid out later in the 1850s, with a cutlery works listed at the corner of Milton Street and Headford Street in 1862. The remainder of the site consisted of back-to-back housing and shops. During the later 19th century, the cutlery works was occupied by a number of small firms, including a brass caster and steel refiners, as well as numerous cutlery manufacturers. The housing was demolished in the 1960s, with the works demolished between 1969 and 1983. The site has since been used as a car park. It is within the setting of Grade II* and Grade II listed buildings. The later 20th-century land use and comparison with sites evaluated in the immediate vicinity indicates that there is a high potential for the survival of remains of the cutlery works and back-to-back housing. There is also a low to moderate potential for remains associated with the brick industry and the structures shown within the site in the 1850s. Any surviving archaeology is likely to be impacted by the proposed development. |
