Abstract: |
Following an archaeological evaluation in February 2017 an excavation was conducted between 19th June and 18th July 2017 on land bound by Cloak Street, Princess Street, the Mancunian Way, and Oxford House, Manchester; a watching brief was conducted on the site between 7th and 15th June 2018. These archaeological investigations revealed a series of cellars and other building remains which dated from the early to mid 19th century. The 19th-century buildings were primarily residential in nature; commercial/industrial buildings replaced the majority of the terraced housing in the early 20th century. These buildings were bombed during the Manchester Blitz in 1940 and were subsequently demolished. |
