A historic environment desk-based assessment was undertaken to inform a planning application for construction of a car park on land at Queen’s Court, Queen Street, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, equating to approximately 0.17ha in extent. It draws together the available archaeological, historical, topographic and land-use information in order to clarify the heritage significance and archaeological potential of the study site. The assessment has established that the study site lies within the Worksop Conservation Area and in close proximity to a large number of listed buildings, however, development proposals are such that there will be no harm to the significance of any designated heritage asset. Assessment of the available archaeological records, combined with analysis of historical mapping and the results of previous archaeological investigations in the search area, show that the study site has a moderate potential for archaeological evidence dating from the medieval periods relating to the Heb Ditch to be present, some slight potential for medieval backplot activity in the southern part of the study site and a low potential for the remainder of the study site.
