Abstract:
Albion Archaeology was commissioned , to undertake the archaeological works for the development of a Heritage Centre at Holme Mills, Biggleswade. The mill is associated with a complex series of leats and channels, with the water flowing from south to north. The site occupies two islands of irregular form in plan. The Heritage Centre development retains the Miller's House and Mill Building. Later additions to the mill complex in the east were demolished, as were several ancillary buildings to the north and east of the mill. The current Mill Building of white Fletton brick dates to the late 19th century and is the county's longest surviving, industrial-style, corn mill. Groundworks associated with the Mill Building revealed evidence for several phases of earlier building. The investigations have provided an insight into the development of the mill site. Despite major redevelopment in modern times, deposits associated with early phases of building survive. However, groundworks associated with the development of the Heritage Centre had limited impact on the deposits, restricting the scope of both the damage and the opportunity to investigate the earlier deposits. No finds were recovered to provide dating of the chronological sequence, though available historical maps provide some corroborating evidence.
