Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in Wolverhampton Civic and Wulfrun Halls, Wolverhampton (NGR SO 91217 98754). It was commissioned by Richard Routley of Shaylor Group, in advance of proposed renovations and alterations to the existing buildings. A planning application will be submitted to City of Wolverhampton council. The site is located on the western edge of the historic medieval core of Wolverhampton. Three test pits were excavated within the Halls, each measuring 2m by 2m. They were located to test potential survival within differing parts of the buildings that may be affected by the proposed development. One test pit revealed the remains of a brick wall, being part of a probable prebendary house and later a Liberal Club, and deposits associated with the courtyard of the Old Mitre Inn. A second test pit identified garden soils of the 18th to 19th century in the middle of the Hall, whilst the third test pit at the western end of the site showed the complete truncation of all archaeological deposits by the construction of the Wulfrun Hall. The good survival of the post-medieval street at the eastern end of the site hints at the possibility of medieval remains surviving beneath them.
