Abstract/Summary
Aa watching brief was undertaken on the NET Phase Two trackbed excavations and utilities installations within Beeston.
Both prehistoric and Roman remains were entirely absent from the investigation area. Although evidence for these periods has previously been identified within the town, it appears as though this activity was limited to discrete areas beyond that of the development. A low number of features dating to the medieval and Post-Medieval periods were located within the south-west end of the development route. These remains provide useful support to existing documentary evidence and extant architectural remains which have previously indicated that the early medieval origins of Beeston were focused within what has become the western end of the town. The most consistent remains to be encountered were 19th century foundations and cellars. These were particularly evident towards the north-east end of the town which was increasingly developed to provide housing during the population boom that resulted from the industrialisation of the local economy.
