| Abstract: |
Trial trenching evaluation undertaken in railway viaduct arches - now a car park - below the former Exchange Station in Salford. Trenches 1 and 2 were sited to test for archaeological remains of a brewery. A wall recorded at a depth of 0.70m below present ground level in Trench 2 may represent an 18th-century structure. Separate components of what was probably the same brick culvert were recorded in Trenches 1 and 2. Trench 3 was sited to test for archaeological evidence of occupation of the Greengate frontage in the north-westernmost part of the site. A possible infilled cellar was recorded, while an earlier brick wall, lying on a slightly different alignment, possibly represents an 18th-century structure. Parts of two brick cellars were recorded in Trench 4, these interpreted as components of backto- back 'workers' housing' shown on the 1849 Ordnance Survey map along Barrow's Court and Nuttall's Court, which the trench was sited to investigate. A cobbled surface leading to the cellar stairs also survived. Another cobbled surface at the north-western extent of the trench may represent the external surface of Barrow's Court. Trench 5 was also sited to investigate Greengate frontage properties and the workers' housing on Nuttall's Court, as shown on the 1849 Ordnance Survey map. A brick cellar occupied a large part of the trench. Trench 6 was located to the rear of the Greengate frontage to investigate a dye works and part of a street frontage premises, the Polytechnic Tavern, as shown on the 1849 Ordnance Survey map. A stone-lined well recorded in the trench may be of late medieval or early post-medieval date. The well was truncated by a brick cellar of probable 19th-century date, which was only partially exposed as it was overlain by an extensive brick surface, possibly associated with the dye works. |
