Abstract/Summary

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on Land south‐east of B&M Styring Street & Station Road, Beeston Town Centre, Beeston, Nottinghamshire. The works were carried out in accordance with an agreed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) prepared by ARS Ltd and undertaken based on recommendations in a Desk Based Assessment (DBA). The work was undertaken in part fulfilment of conditioned planning consent for a mixed development of a cinema, commercial units, leisure units and residential dwellings. The work was carried out between the 2nd December 2019 and the 14th February 2020 and comprised the monitoring of groundworks for the aforementioned development, including a service trench, a large excavation in the northern corner of site, and other groundworks across site. Archaeology was identified in both the service trench and the northern corner of site, where a boiler bed and associated structures were identified at cellar‐level. In the service trench were the remains of two small wells and three walls. With the exception of one wall in the service trench it is likely that all of this archaeology represented remains of Foster and Pearson Ltd horticultural engineering works and dated from the late 19th century to the mid‐20th century, when Foster and Pearson Ltd was demolished and the site was turned into a car park. There was no detectable trace of any medieval remains present on site.
