Abstract:		 Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Blackwell to undertake a Level 2 building record of the remaining elements of the disused rail sidings network at Boots Alliance Campus, Beeston, Nottingham. Two areas retained tracks, one to the west of buildings D1 and D10 within the current car park centred at Ordnance Grid Reference SK 54265 36451 and one within Sixth Avenue to the north of buildings D13 and D113, centred at Ordnance Grid Reference SK 54469 36455. The work was undertaken prior to the redevelopment of the site (Planning Application No. 14/00515/OUT). Boots UK, formerly Boots Pure Drug Co, was founded by John Boot in 1849. By 1900 his son, Jesse had overseen the expansion of the business which had begun to create their own patented drugs. In order to develop the company further Jesse Boot took the decision to construct a model factory in the 1920s to the south of Beeston. The purpose-built factory made direct reference to American corporate working models aimed at creating a modern industrial environment. The site was served by sidings which connected with the south-east side of the LSMR Nottingham to Beeston line. The standard gauge lines were located to the west of the works next to an effluent treatment plant with a single entry/exit line. There were separate sidings extending down a number of the avenues that provided road access to the buildings within the site. Two lines ran directly through building D10. Rail traffic to Boots ceased in 1981 and the track was donated to the Midland Railway Trust, Butterley Derbyshire with the majority lifted during 1990 leaving behind that which forms the basis for this current study.
