Abstract:
The proposed development site, at 330-336 London Road, High Wycombe is believed to be the location of Bowden Mill, a water mill with thirteenth century origins. There were two mills at the site from the eighteenth or nineteenth century until the late twentieth century. Warehouses currently stand on the site, and it is proposed that these will be demolished to make way for a new superstore, service yard, car park, and access roads. A desk based assessment was undertaken in 2001 to consider the archaeological implications of the proposed development and to provide a basis for further stages of investigation. Following this, two evaluation trenches were excavated on the site. The evaluation trenches were positioned to assess the depth and level of survival of known post-medieval building remains, as well as to look for any evidence of any medieval mill remains. The evaluation successfully located buried remains of several post-medieval mill buildings and watercourses identified by the desk based assessment. The absence of any surviving medieval remains is probably due to the substantial post-medieval development of the site.
