Description
TPA conducted excavations on site in May, 2016 to determine the extent and nature of archaeological remains in a 165m2 area in the western half of the site. Excavation was focused on the approximate location of the western-most boundary walls of the house of correction, based on a tithe map from 1841 and from conclusions drawn from TPA’s earlier site evaluations. The foundations of the outer foundation wall and internal wall were recorded, both of which associated with the 19th century house of correction, and similarly associated area of brick surface and threshold was exposed. During the brief evaluation, a boiler room was recorded, associated the lace factory phase of the development site’s history: c.1900 - 1919. Overall, the site was heavily truncated from repeated phases of development, demolition and redevelopment.
