Abstract:		 Historic England is leading a scheme of regeneration and development of a former industrial site in the Ditherington area of Shrewsbury (centred on NGR SJ 49888 13849), which was occupied from 1797 by the Ditherington Flax Mill. The flax mill complex is of immense archaeological and historical significance, which is reflected in the designation of several components as Grade I, Grade II* and Grade II listed buildings. An ongoing building investigation, being undertaken by Salford Archaeology, is providing a valuable opportunity to examine the complex as a whole, documenting physical remains that are being exposed as renovation and conversion of the site progresses. The report, however, presents the results obtained from a detailed examination of two small but intriguing elements of the mill; the privy tower attached to the late eighteenth century Main Mill; and the adjacent boiler-house chimney, situated on the east side of flax mill. The excavation was undertaken in July 2019, and has expanded on the results obtained from an archaeological watching brief carried out by Oxford Archaeology North in 2016, which revealed the remains of the chimney base and several elements of the north boiler house.
