Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology (WA) in January and February 2020 at Edward street, Redditch, Worcestershire (NGR SP 03709 67614). The project was commissioned by Accord Housing Association, in advance of proposed residential developments. A planning application has been submitted to Redditch Borough Council and permission has been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works. The archaeological evaluation entailed the excavation of five trenches across two sites; the Victoria Works on the western side of Edward Street, and the Ivy Works on the eastern side. Twentieth century truncation of the Victoria Works was near complete, with a single wall footing remaining, along with two wells from domestic properties, one of which was superseded by the Works. The Ivy Works site demonstrated much greater survival of archaeological deposits, with two distinct phases of development of the Works, with an earlier phase that may predate the manufactory. These remains are of local significance. |
