Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at 77-79, St Johns and a watching brief at Powell's Row, St Johns, Worcester (NGR SO 84015 54320). It was undertaken on behalf of Mr HoLim Yung for Mr Peter Styles, who intends to redevelop the site with mixed use properties, for which a planning application has been submitted. The investigations revealed a series of walls relating to the 19th century development of Powell's Row. These included floor surfaces and a probable coal cellar. Behind the former Zig Zag nightclub (77-79, St Johns), a 3m deep unlined well was discovered, containing mid-19th century bricks and a small quantity of 17th-18th century pottery. This was likely to have been associated with the King's Head pub, which stood on the site before being replaced by a cinema in the early 20th century. This then became the nightclub, the concrete floor and eastern limit of which were also identified. A small rim sherd from a thin-walled 16th century Cistercian-type ware (fabric 78.5) vessel, probably a cup or tyg, was recovered from a shallow pit of indeterminate function, of probable late medieval date. Pockets of post-medieval soils and underlying subsoils were revealed during the investigations, though no evidence for earlier occupation was identified. This suggests that the suburb of St Johns did not extend this far to the south during the medieval period.
