Abstract/Summary
An archaeological evaluation consisting of four trenches, each 10m x 2m, was undertaken in the town centre of Hucknall, Nottinghamshire. The evaluation was part of a wider scheme of archaeological mitigation associated with an environmental improvement scheme, the centrepiece of which is to be the construction of a new road through a former residential and light industrial area.
The proposed redevelopment area covers approximately 13.4 hectares, and chiefly features the construction of a new road, running west-north-west to east-south-east and connecting the junction of Carlingford Road and Annesley Road to the junction of Thoresby Road and Station Road; to the east of this, further improvements are planned along Station Road as far as the junctions with Linby Road and Ashgate Road and extending a short distance beyond the junction along each of these three roads.
Archaeological investigations focussed on a car park built on the site of the former Manor Farm, at the eastern end of the new road, and land to the north of the extant Croft Mill, at the western end of the new road.
Out of the four trenches, two were archaeologically negative, whilst the other two contained a number of probable post-medieval structural remains. The results will be used to inform the planning process, and advise should any further mitigation be necessary.
