Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation and excavation was carried out by CFA Archaeology on land at 257 Ordsall Lane, Salford during September and October 2018. Four trial trenches were excavated across the proposed site of a mixed use development in order to evaluate any potential surviving archaeological remains. The results of this initial phase of investigation informed an excavation which immediately followed the evaluation. The excavation targeted the site of the former Ordsall Chemical Works. The programme of archaeological works revealed the well preserved remains of a number of buildings of at least 19th century origin, associated with the industrial use of the site (Ordsall Chemical Works), and an air raid shelter of mid 20th century date. No evidence was observed for a structure of possible late Georgian origin known as Ordsall House. |
