Trent & Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Burgage Homes Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation of the former Rainbow Depot, Burgage Green, Southwell. Four trenches (25m, two 10m and 15m) were excavated within the site boundary. Late 19th/early 20th century brickwork and flagstone surfaces were present in the trenches, most of which were likely to be related to the use of the site as a lace factory. A linear feature which corresponded well with the approximate position of the house of correction’s perimeter wall may have represented a trench dug during its demolition to facilitate the removal of foundations.
