Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology (TPA) were commissioned by Lanpro Services to carry out an archaeological watching brief on land to the north of Huntingdon Street, Nottingham (centred on SK 5745 4056), ahead of planned residential development. The watching brief was undertaken between March and August 2019. The site consists of approximately 0.39ha of land fronting on to Huntingdon Street, approximately 0.5km to the north of the centre of Nottingham, and is bounded by Huntingdon Street to the west, and Great Freeman Street to the south-east. The site sits within an area previously dominated by terraced housing and a lace factory which date to the 19th century. Groundworks ranged in depth from 0.24m to 2.7m below ground level. Impact depths increased to the south in areas which corresponded to increased developmental related truncation. Monitoring of ground reduction in these areas revealed foundation walls, cellars, coal chutes and chimney stacks belonging to the terraced workers housing which formerly fronted Great Freeman Street. A single floor structure possibly related to the former lace factory was also identified. Sporadic deposits of subsoil and topsoil identified within the northern third of the site likely relate to the former workhouse garden, outlined within the northwestern corner of the site which is visible in Jacksons Map of Nottingham 1851 (Plate 16). No finds or features of archaeological significance were identified during the course of the watching brief. As all structural remains encountered during the course of monitored ground works corresponded with known above ground structures, these were not investigated further. |
