Abstract:		 An archaeological Watching Brief was carried out in September 2019 at Pleasant Harbour, Bewdley, Worcestershire DY12 1BH in advance of a new extension. The site lies within the former medieval settlement and The Malthouse, a timber-frame with painted brick and rendered infill (Grade II Listed Building) is described as a late C17, extended late C18, with mid-C19 and some late C20 alterations. The existing bridge over the River Severn at Bewdley is an C18 rebuild of an earlier structure which was located downstream. The building of the houses to the north-west of The Malthouse may be associated with improvements made due to the presence of the new bridge. Several ancient buildings survive on the river side nearby including a close-studded building, a C17 three storied brick tower with large chimney and a decorative late C16 or early C17 jettied timber-frame house with gables. The Malthouse is formed from the central of three buildings together with a part of an adjacent building, mostly lost but shown on an aerial photograph. The garden which runs along the back of the house continues beyond the cottage but in the late C19 extended to the south east with a formal garden, suggesting that it was laid out when a single large house was formed from two. Features dating to the C18 indicate this may also be associated with the new bridge. The glasshouse, now lost, against the north-east boundary wall indicates C19 improvements. No archaeological features or deposits were found in the excavation, south-east of Bridgewater Cottage, the third timber-frame, however the slope of the natural substrate here suggests that laying out of the formal garden, to the north-east, included levelling.
