N Foxton Locks The water at Foxton Locks comes from several sources: • The main water sources are Welford, Sulby and Naseby reservoirs. • Water can also be pumped back up Watford locks to bring in water from much further south in the network. • The water at Foxton can come from as far away as the River Great Ouse near Milton Keynes.

  • An Archaeological Resource Assessment of Modern Leicestershire and Rutland (1750 Onwards)
    East Midlands Archaeological Research Framework: Resource Assessment of Modern Leicestershire and Rutland An Archaeological Resource Assessment of Modern Leicestershire and Rutland (1750 onwards) Peter Neaverson Note: For copyright reasons the figures are currently omitted from the web version of this paper. It is hoped to include them in future versions. Introduction It is my brief today to present a short statement of the current state of knowledge about industrial archaeology in Leicestershire. The serious study of industrial archaeology is a phenomenon of the second half of the 20th century that arose out of a concern to record and even preserve some of the monuments of the British industrial revolution at a time of wholesale urban redevelopment. The term has come to mean different things to different groups of people, so some definition is required. The more generally accepted current definition of industrial archaeology is the systematic study of structures and artefacts as a means of enlarging our understanding of the industrial past. Industrial archaeology will not only be responsible for recording the appearance of structures and artefacts of the recent past, and attempting to set them in an economic and technological context, but also trying to explain how they indicate change or continuity in human behaviour. In this way, industrial archaeology may make a distinctive contribution to an understanding of the development of human society. Its study is becoming established as a part of mainstream professional archaeology. As in any other field archaeology, the material evidence prompts a series of questions which the industrial archaeologist is often fortunate in being able to answer from documentary evidence.

Cooper Note: archaeological watching briefs which have produced no significant archaeological features or finds are listed at the end of the relevant county sections below. In each case, the parish/site name is followed by the name of the individual or organisations that undertook the fieldwork. For abbreviations, see below, (p.iv). Some entries relate to fieldwork undertaken before 2006 but not reported previously. LEICESTER All finds and records are deposited with LCMS under the accession number cited at the end of the entry. Photographic surveys have not been assigned accession numbers. Abbey Park Road, Boston House (SK 5860 0420) Sophie Clarke A photographic survey of Boston House, Abbey Park Road, Leicester was carried out by ULAS on behalf of Pearmain Ltd., in advance of proposed residential conversion. Boston House is a former Boot and Shoe factory, constructed circa 1920 for Messrs. Hill and Cunningham. The proposals for redevelopment include alterations to the principal façade, in addition to the raising of the present roofline to facilitate the formation of 44 apartments within the building. Aylestone Park and Ride Scheme (SP 5525 9970) Simon Stowe A Geophysical Survey was undertaken by Stratascan for ULAS in an area outlined for development as a park and ride scheme. The survey was successful in locating anomalies of potential archaeological origin, particularly over the route of the Fosse Way. Evidence of other archaeological activity is fragmentary. This is possibly due to modern agricultural use of the land and also the presence of large modern magnetic features dominating the data.
