Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Sheffield City Council, to prepare a Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment of Sheffield General Cemetery centred on National Grid Reference 434152, 385876. This study is part of the Parks for People Project Round 1 which aims to conserve the Sheffield General Cemetery and ultimately better connect the local population with the Site and allow a coherent management plan for its future. ground penetrating radar survey was conducted over land at Sheffield General Cemetery (centred on NGR 434152, 385876). The project was commissioned by Sheffield City Council with the specific aims of determining the extent of the original designed landscape and ground levels. More specifically it is hoped the GPR survey will determine the extent of the stone quarry face and extent of below ground remains of original structures. Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Sheffield City Council, to carry out a photographic survey of a stairwell accessing the lower level of the catacombs and an area to the rear of the Non Conformist Chapel within the Sheffield General Cemetery. This survey is part of the Parks for People Project Round 1 which aims to conserve the Sheffield General Cemetery and ultimately better connect the local population with the Site and allow a coherent management plan for its future. As part of the archaeology commission for the Round 1 works, a Desk-Based Assessment and targeted Ground Penetrating Radar survey was also carried out. |
