Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology at Chanson Foods, Avon Street, Bristol in December 2019. The project was commissioned by RPS Group on behalf of Victoria Hall Management Limited in advance of proposed redevelopment of the site. The site is located approximately 200m north-east of Bristol Temple Meads railway station and 1km southeast of Bristol City Centre. The proposed development is located on the site of a lead works dating to the 18th to 19th century and an early 20th century warehouse. There is no evidence of any earlier activity. Three trenches were opened although only limited excavation took place in Trench 1 due to the presence of in-situ concrete and a live water pipe. No archaeological features were identified in Trench 2 and a series of brick and stone structures were identified in Trench 3 approximately 1m below the present ground surface. Although no dateable finds were identified during the evaluation, comparison of the features with historic maps and plans of the site indicate they are probably related to the lead works which was in operation during the late 18th and 19th centuries, or the early 20th century warehouse. The methods adopted allow a moderate degree of confidence that the aims of the project have been achieved. Conditions were suitable in Trenches 2 and 3 to identify the presence or absence of archaeological structures and features and it is considered that the nature, density and distribution of archaeological features provides a reasonable characterisation of this part of the development site.
