Abstract: |
A watching brief at the Monk Bridge iron works, Leeds during ground works to insert manholes and drains, identified possible evidence for the location of 19th century rail tracks associated with the Great Northern Railway in the form of an extensive deposit of stone interpreted as track ballast. This was sealed beneath 4-5m of probable 20th century ground make-up, consisting of re-deposited landfill and industrial ash. Beneath a 19th railway viaduct, some evidence for structures associated with the Monk Bridge iron works was suggested, along with a deposit of probable tap slag from a puddling furnace used as a ground make-up deposit. |
