Abstract:		 A variety of resources have been used to gather information about the mill. Lancashire Archives held information about historic planning proposals, plans and old maps. Photographs were taken of the building, sufficient light for outdoor shots but a flash had to be used on some interior photographs. Metric scales of appropriate length were used when required, with all photos annotated and linked to a relevant floor plan. The evaluation comprised the excavation of two trenches, each measuring c.10m x 1.8m.The evaluation trenches were accurately located using a Leica GS08 RTK NetRover GPS. In each trench a tracked excavator fitted with a smooth ditching bucket was used to remove topsoil, subsoil and underlying non-archaeological deposits in spits no greater than 100mm in depth. The process was repeated until the first archaeologically significant or natural horizon was exposed. All further excavation was then by hand. Machine excavation was monitored at all times by an experienced field archaeologist. The building survey of Victoria Mill encountered at least five phases of construction with a large part originating from the first phase between the mid-19th century and 1883, although with some later alterations and modifications. The archaeological evaluation uncovered two bays of the former boiler house although due to asbestos contamination the full extent of surviving remains could not be established within the trenches. The features extended beyond the limit of excavation in all directions.
