The site is located across the land of the Priory Shopping Centre and on a small extension area to the north, within the market town of Worksop, Nottinghamshire. The site covers an area of approximately 2.29ha and comprises two main areas: a small rectangular area to the north of the Chesterfield canal, due to be connected by a pedestrian footbridge to the southern margin of the watercourse; and an irregularly shaped land parcel to the south covering the existing site of the Priory Shopping Centre. Intrusive groundworks were conducted under constant archaeological supervision. All mechanical excavation was completed with a toothless ditching bucket under archaeological supervision with stripping and spoil removal arranged so any tracking across the stripped surfaces was avoided. Where archaeological deposits or features were encountered excavations stopped until the attendant archaeologist investigated and recorded the archaeological remains. The archaeological monitoring undertaken at the Priory Shopping Centre identified evidence for the post-medieval and modern industrial development of Worksop's canal frontage. Although no evidence for earlier activity was encountered, the investigation revealed a series of structural remains and deposits associated with the expansion of the town during the 18th to 20th centuries. Historic mapping demonstrates that malthouses and associated industrial buildings occupied much of the Site during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly adjacent to the Chesterfield Canal. The structural remains identified within two monitored areas correspond closely with the mapped footprint of these buildings, suggesting that they represent surviving elements of this former industrial landscape. The most significant remains were encountered in the third monitored area, where substantial red brick structures including walls, a floor surface, associated structural elements are likely to represent the remains of two former malthouses shown on historic Ordnance Survey mapping. The close relationship between these structures and the canal reflects the importance of waterborne transport to the malting industry in Worksop during the 19th century. The remains identified in the second monitored, including three structures, may represent further elements of the canal-side industrial complex or associated canal infrastructure, although their precise function remains uncertain. The archaeological works have therefore demonstrated the survival of elements of Worksop's former canal-side industries beneath later redevelopment. These remains contribute to an understanding of the relationship between transport infrastructure, industrial production and urban expansion during the post-medieval and modern periods, while providing a valuable archaeological record of the town's malting industry and its association with the Chesterfield Canal.
