Abstract: |
The watching brief comprised of the observation by a competent archaeologist of all
intrusive groundworks associated with the proposed development within the northern
area of site, outside the footprint of the demolished Challenge building. These
works comprised the machine excavation of eight Ground Investigation pits
(Trenches 1-8), remediation trenching (Trenches 9 and 10) and ground reduction of
further areas (Trenches 11 and 12). Between January and May 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological
watching brief during groundworks associated with the construction of a new medical centre
at Hatherton Road, Walsall, West Midlands.
The watching brief identified alluvial deposits deriving from the adjacent Ford Brook, which
was overlain by a series of post-medieval made ground and levelling deposits.
A series of structural remains, including walls, surfaces, a well and the remains of probable
tanning tanks, were identified throughout the areas of observed groundworks, and are likely
associated with the use of the site as a tannery, malthouse and curriers from the earlier 19th
century until the 1930s, when a garage and car showroom were built on the site. |
