Abstract: |
Little Matlock Hamlet was granted planning permission and Listed Building consent, subject to a Section 106 agreement, for a development at Low Matlock Wheel. A desk-based assessment had identified a complex history of buildings at the site, focussed around a series of water-powered mills on the River Loxley. The earliest documented mill on the site dated from the first half of the 18th century. The site was badly damaged and then largely rebuilt following the Great Sheffield Flood of 1864. The mill buildings on site incorporated the last water-powered steel rolling mill in Sheffield. The mill buildings were grade II* listed, while a row of cottages above the mill which partly dated from the start of the 19th century and survived the flood were Grade II Listed. The mill buildings and associated water management features were within the area of a SAM. The evaluation was carried out in two areas where new building was intended. Two trenches were opened, exposing a total area of 104 sq. m. The evaluation revealed no archaeological deposits that would be disturbed by construction in the areas evaluated. [Au(adp)] |
