| Abstract: |
The excavation also uncovered the remains of a large commercial bakers' oven at No.2 Hallam Lane. The oven was brick-built and was 2.60m in diameter. It was built in to the rear of the cellar at No. 2 Hallam Lane, in a courtyard that was surrounded by the Royal Hotel; the three storey properties on Earl Street; and shop buildings on the corner of Hallam Lane and Earl Street. The oven was identified as part of a commercial baker's premises that fronted on to Hallam Lane. The archaeological strip, map and record investigation recorded cellars and foundations
of buildings dating from c.1822. The remains were well preserved due to the fact that
they were used as foundations for the Eon Works, constructed in the 1940s and which
otherwise may have obliterated such remains.
A broad range of artefacts add colour to 19th and early 20th century domestic life in
Sheffield, most commonly glass bottles and pottery; much of these being intrusive,
having been brought to site with demolition material from elsewhere in Sheffield, to
make up the ground. Cutlery workings including handles from fragments of worked
animal bones and dated to around 1820 were also recorded and were also brought to
site from with demolition or refuse from elsewhere.
The extensive historical data relating to the site helps depict the social and economic
history of the properties between the 19th and 20th centuries. The map data have been
useful and closely correlates with the archaeological remains recorded. The census and
rate-book records added social and economic identity to the buildings and helped to

more accurately depict the lives of the people who actually lived and worked on the
site. |
