An Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment of Hammond Ground, Read, Lancashire

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by the Trustees of Hammond Ground to produce an archaeological desk-based assessment (DBA) of an area of land known as Hammond Ground, at Read, Lancashire. This is following the submission of an outline application for a residential development of up to 50 units including access, open space and a pond. There is one archaeological asset listed on the Lancashire Historic Environment Record within the PDA, comprising Read Hall Park (PRN37695). However, analysis of satellite imagery coupled with the results of the site walkover and map regression have identified that there are a number of former field boundaries within the PDA (see Figure 13), some of which survive as earthworks comprising banks, ditches and discrete pits marking the likely locations of removed trees and/or fence posts. These are features that are likely to pre-date the emparkment of this part of the estate in the early 19 th century, and reflect the former land-use of agricultural fields of medieval and/or post-medieval date. The assessment identified that within the wider 1km study area beyond the proposed development area (PDA), there are nine designated heritage assets, comprising one Grade II* and eight Grade II Listed Buildings. In addition, there are 17 non-designated archaeological assets listed on the LHER and/or NRHE, and 14 non-designated historic buildings. The PDA is located wholly within a small part of a larger HLC unit, which is of the Ancient and Post-Medieval Ornamental type, and there are nine HLC types represented within the wider 1km study area beyond the PDA. It is recommended that if the planning application is successful, then a phased scheme of archaeological works should be undertaken. It is recommended that these works should initially comprise topographic and/or geophysical survey, followed by intrusive works such as trenching, strip, map and sample excavation or targeted excavation prior to development, and/or a watching brief during construction.

An Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment of Hammond Ground, Read, Lancashire

1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project and Planning Background Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by the Trustees of Hammond to produce an archaeological desk-based assessment (DBA) of an area of land known as Hammond Ground, at Read, Lancashire. This is following the submission of an outline application for a residential development of up to 50 units including access, open space and a pond (Planning ref. 3/2016/0421). In response to the submission, Lancashire Archaeology Advisory Service (LAAS) provided a consultation response which stated: It is recommended … that the development site is subject to a desk-based assessment and that the need for any form of further archaeological investigation or mitigation work is considered and presented as part of any reserved matters application. Should it appear probable that significant remains may exist on the site further phases of work, which may include geophysical or topographical survey, trial trenching, etc. may be necessary. This can be required by the use of a suitable planning condition. The following wording is suggested: Condition: No development shall take place until the applicant, or their agent or successors in title, has secured the implementation of a programme of archaeological investigation and analysis. This must be carried out in accordance with a written scheme of investigation, which shall first have been submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure and safeguard the recording and inspection of matters of archaeological/historical importance associated with the building. Note: The programme of investigation should comprise a desk-based assessment of the proposed development area. It should be undertaken by an appropriately experienced and qualified professional archaeological contractor to the standards and guidance set out by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists. The results of this work should be used to assess the probability of the presence of archaeological remains and the need for further investigation and/or recording works. This DBA has been commissioned by the applicant pre-determination of the application, and thus can be used by the planning authority to help determine the application, and to help discharge any associated planning condition. 1.2 Site description The ‘red line boundary’ of the proposed development area (hereafter ‘PDA’) is depicted by a red polygon on Figure 1, and is c.4.09 ha in area. It is bounded to the south by Whalley Road (Figures 17, 18 and 25), to the east by the curtilages of properties fronting on to George Lane (Figure 19), and is unbounded to the north and west (Figures 26-27). The topography of the PDA slopes down from a high point at around 120m above Ordnance Datum (AOD) at the north-east to around 94m AOD at the south-west. The PDA is under pasture, and contains nine mature oak trees (Figures 15, 16, 19, 20, 22-26) and a single ash on the southern boundary (Figures 17 and 21), and is subdivided by a north-south oriented post and wire fenceline towards the west of the site (Figure 16). Four of the oak trees towards the north-western boundary of the PDA are located along the earthwork remains of a bank and ditch which are likely to represent a former field boundary (Figure 23 and 25). There is

An Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment of Hammond Ground, Read, Lancashire

also a low wide bank towards the north-eastern area of the PDA and lines of small pits within a slight ditch towards the south-east which are also likely to be former field boundaries (Figures 21, 22 and 24). These earthworks are also clearly discernible in the Environment Agency Lidar data (Figures 13 and 14). A row of four oaks, one of which is within the PDA, also indicate the course of a former field boundary heading upslope to the north-west. 1.3 Geology The underlying solid geology of the PDA largely comprises mudstone, siltstone and sandstone of the Pennine Lower Coal Measures Formation, although there is also a band of Milnrow Sandstone running across the centre of the PDA from south-west to north-east (BGS 2016). The whole of the PDA is overlain by a superficial deposit of Till (Diamicton), which was deposited by ice during the most recent (Devensian) glaciation. The soils of the PDA are classified as belonging to the BROCKFIELD 3 Soil Association (713g), which are Cambic stagnogley soils, which have a distinct topsoil and occur widely in lowland England over tills and soft argillaceous rocks (SSEW 1983b, 5). These soils form over drift from Palaeozoic sandstone and shale, and are characterised as ‘Slowly permeable seasonally waterlogged fine loamy over clayey and clayey soils (SSEW 1983b, 18).

2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The principal aims of this assessment are to produce a report detailing the archaeological significance of the PDA, and to assess the potential impacts of the proposed development upon any buried and upstanding archaeological remains, historic buildings, the historic landscape and the settings of nationally designated assets. The following objectives will contribute towards accomplishing this aim:

To collate and assess existing information about the historic environment within the study area and to determine as fully as possible from the available evidence the nature, survival, quality, extent and importance of any archaeological remains and any upstanding buildings/structures within the PDA.

To provide an assessment of areas of archaeological potential and survival based on the above research and assess the potential for the use of particular investigative techniques in order to aid the formulation of any necessary mitigation strategy, including further evaluation, excavation, and/or preservation of archaeological remains.

To assess, where possible from the available sources, the extent of any ground disturbance associated with any previous intrusive development.

To provide an initial assessment of potential impacts of the proposed development to the settings of cultural heritage assets, and make recommendations for further detailed assessment should this be considered necessary.

4 BASELINE DATA 4.1 Archaeological and Historical Background In the following discussion, where heritage assets that are discussed are recorded on the LHER, then the unique HER reference number is provided. However, for those designated assets that are included on the National Heritage List, then the NHLE ID is used.

4.1.1 The Prehistoric Period There is a paucity of evidence for prehistoric activity within the area around Read. A possible hoard of three Early Bronze Age axes was recorded as coming from Read in 1881, but the precise findspot is not known (HER PRN188). This is one of a number of hoards found on the lower flanks of Ribblesdale that might indicate the course of a routeway through the Ribble-Aire gap (Barrowclough 2008, 155). There are no other known prehistoric sites or findspots recorded on the HER within the study area or within the PDA itself, but multi-period prehistoric activity is attested at the promontory fort of Portfield Camp, c.2km to the north-east of the PDA (NHLE 1013608). Excavations here identified an extensive Neolithic flint scatter and associated pits reminiscent of contemporary ‘pit and posthole’ settlement sites in southern and eastern England, and one of the pits contained sherds of plain bowl pottery, a rare discovery in Lancashire (Middleton 1996, 38 and 40). The earliest defences at this site were constructed in the Late Bronze Age, and a hoard of Bronze Age artefacts including a gold bracelet, a gold tress and lock ring and a number of bronze socketed axe heads were discovered here during the laying of a pipeline in 1966. The earlier univallate hillfort was later modified into a small bivallate hillfort that saw continued occupation during the Iron Age period.

4.1.2 The Romano-British Period Evidence for activity in Lancashire during the Romano-British period is limited, although forts have been identified at Lancaster, Manchester, Cattleshaw, Kirkham and Ribchester and possible industrial sites have been identified at Walton-le-Dale, Wigan, Wilderspool and Quernmore (Buxton and Shotter 1996, 75-76). The PDA is located some 5km to the south of the Ribchester to Ilkley Roman road which passes through the Ribble-Aire gap through the Pennines, and Roman pottery recovered from Portfield Fort, some 2km to the north-west of the PDA attests to continued occupation there. The only Romano-British discovery with n the 1km study area for this assessment is the find of a coin of Comodus (AD 180-192) that was discovered in 1953 in Cromwell’s Cave (LHER PRN189). The LHER entry for this describes the cave as ‘unlocated’, but it is reportedly the cave located in Haslost Wood, c.800m due north of the PDA (Sturrock n.d., 2). Early Ordnance Survey maps indicate the course of an ‘Old Roman Road’ on Read heights, c.900m to the north of the PDA, and this is also mentioned in some parish histories (e.g. Farrer and Brownbill 1911, 503) but this is in fact the remains of outcrop workings of Gannister coal (Jeffrey and Matthews 2008, 46).

4.1.3 The Medieval Period There is no evidence for early medieval activity within the study area, and the earliest documentary evidence for Read dates to AD 1202, when it was named Revet. This place-

An Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment of Hammond Ground, Read, Lancashire

name is thought to derive from a compound of the Old English rœge, ‘female roe’ and œ hēafod, ‘a hill, ridge’ or ‘ridge of the female roe’ (Ekwall 1922, 79). The Manor of Read is first named as such in a document of 1311, when Adam de Clough held land called ‘hall demesne’, and three other tenants held land adding up to less than a caracute. As such, it has been suggested that the whole of the township north of the road to Whalley lay in common at that time (Whitaker 1818, 263). The Read estate was acquired by the Nowell family in 1364 from Sir Richard de Greenacres, and stayed with the Nowells for the remainder of the medieval period. In 1509, John Nowell obtained a royal charter for emparking land in Read. The extent of this deer park is not known, but in emparking the land ‘no hamlet, chapel or church had been laid down’ (Whitaker 1818, 264), suggesting that this may have been in the vicinity of the later extents of Read Park to the west of the village.

4.1.4 The Post-Medieval Period The first moor to be enclosed in the Sabden Valley where the PDA is located was Read Moor, which was granted to Roger Nowell (John’s son) by the Duchy Court in 1586, and this included about half of Sabden waste on the south side of Sabden Brook in Read (Moorhouse 1978, 58). Roger Nowell bought up more land in Read in 1595 and 1599, so that by the close of the century the Nowell family had acquired all but one parcel of land in the Manor of Read (Sturrock n.d., 7). In 1617, Roger Nowell sent a letter to Roger Kenyon in Whalley with rent money for a coal pit, also mentioning that he had let the ground above ‘Read Mylne’ to Henry Hamond (Jeffrey and Matthews 2008, 44-46). This letter provides the likely derivation of the field name ‘Hammond Ground’ and provides evidence for early coal-working on the estate. During the Civil War on 23rd April, 1643, a decisive battle was fought close to Read Old Bridge, c.1.3km to the west of the PDA. Around 4,000 Royalists under the command of the Earl of Derby took Whalley Abbey in order to confiscate a cache of arms. The Parliamentary forces that had been stationed there had retreated on hearing the size of the Royalist force, but a group of musketeers from the retreating forces lay in ambush on the steep ascent above Read Old Bridge ‘in fields on the high way sid betwixt Whaley and Padiam under the Stone walls with their muskets, readie charged, being hid, to give the enemie a volley of shot if they appeared’ (Beaumont 1864, 33). This contemporary account suggests that they hid behind the stone walls of the Nowell’s deer park. Upon arriving at the bridge, the musketeers let off a volley which caused the Royalist forces to retreat in disarray back towards Whalley. The contemporary report relates that ‘The Muskettiers perceiving them flee soe fearfully pursued them hotly and took divers Foot Clubmen. Presently upon the report of the Muskets many came unto them and some carried the Prisoners to Padiam and the rest Joyned with the Musketiers to pursue the enemie’. This contemporary account notes that only one Parliamentarian was killed during the battle, and furthermore, ‘Of the Earls Companie an eminent Captaine of much respect with him (yet a greate punderer) his name was Conney was shot in one of his eyes whereof he died afterwards and was carried away with them’ (Beaumont 1864, 33). Another contemporary account stated that ‘…the enemies horse fled in great disorder, we wounded many, took forty prisoners some horse and 60 musquets’. There is a tradition that the dead from the battle were buried in Hammond Field (Greatorix 1948, 38), however the cotemporary

An Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment of Hammond Ground, Read, Lancashire

accounts only mention one Parliamentarian and one Royalist death, the latter being carried off to Whalley, although the possibility that there were far more casualties than are reported in the contemporary accounts cannot be discounted. Nevertheless, the parish history states that ‘It seems more likely that those who stayed behind to attend to the prisoners and the dead would either bury on the spot or carry the dead with them a little way. Their return to Padiham would have taken them on past Cobcar and it is more feasible that they buried somewhere about there than that they should go out of their way to Hammond Field. The present road from Padiham to Whalley was, of course, not built’ (Greatorix 1948, 38). Even if there is any truth in the tradition that the dead were buried in Hammond Field (and as the Nowells were Royalists, it is not unlikely that they would have afforded the Royalist dead a burial plot), it would be most likely that this would have been in the northern end of Hammond Ground close to the course of the old Whalley-Padiham road. The last of the Nowell family line to own the Read estate was Alexander Nowell who died in 1772, after almost ruining Read Hall and his fortune through ‘expensive and ill-judged alterations’ (Whitaker 1818, 263), and subsequently the estate was sold by order of the Court of Chancery and was subsequently purchased by John Fort, a partner of the Oakenshaw Printing Company who became lord of the manor in 1801 (Farer and Brownbill 1911, 505). Fort demolished the old hall and built a new one in 1818-25 to a design of George Webster, and also landscaped the park, creating a waterfall, two lakes and woodland, and opening up the parkland through the removal of field boundaries. The parkland oak trees that survive are on the line of the former boundaries, and banks and ditches associated with the former boundaries are visible on the ground as well as clearly delineated in the lidar data (Figure 13). The earliest map to depict the study area in any detail is Yates’ map of Lancashire dating to 1786 (Figure 4). This does not depict the extent of Read Park, but identifies the location of Read Hall, and names ‘Park Head’ to the east of the Hall near Read Bridge. The road that skirts the southern edge of the park is not illustrated as this had not yet been constructed, however it is depicted on Greenwood’s map of 1818 (Figure 5). This map also depicts the extent of Read Park, and a ‘coal wharf’ immediately to the south of the Park connected to a colliery further to the south by a tramway. This industrial complex comprises the Cock Bridge coal staithes and the Dunkirk or Decline Mine, which is thought to have been built within the Read Hall Estate by either Richard or John Fort (Jeffrey and Matthews 2008). The Whalley-Padiham Road was turnpiked when an Act was obtained by the Bury, Haslington and Whalley Trust in 1826 (Crosby 1998, 147), and this road is depicted on Hennet’s map of 1830 (Figure 6) which illustrates it following the line of the pre-existing road depicted on Greenwood’s earlier map. The next map available is the Ordnance Survey (OS) 1st edition published in 1848 (Figure 7), which depicts Hammond Ground in detail, and depicts the lines of trees that delineated the former field boundaries that were removed to create the open parkland in the early 19th century. By the time of the 1893 OS map, an ‘Old Coal Pit’ is depicted to the north of the PDA in Hammond ground (Figure 8; ‘A’ on Figure 14). This mine is Heap’s Field Colliery that was named after the tenant farmer from Houlker Farm, James Heap (Jeffrey and Matthews 2008, 45). Records indicate that this shaft was 60 yards deep, and that the seams were

An Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment of Hammond Ground, Read, Lancashire

worked out, possibly as far as Whalley Road or further (Jeffrey and Matthews 2008, 46). There were two other mine shafts in Hammond Ground, located c.150m to the north-west of the PDA (‘C’ and ‘D’ on Figure 14), and there were also three close to Clough Syke Brook immediately to the west of Hammond Ground, known as Birthday Pit (‘E’ on Figure 14), Clough Syke Pit (‘F’ on Figure 14) and Pit no.12 (‘G’ on Figure 14) (Jeffrey and Matthews 2008, 31). A further drift mine known as Mr. Fort’s Drift was located c.70m to the north- west of Heap’s Field Mine, and this is also clearly visible in the Lidar data (‘B’ on Figure 14). The Read estate was sold by auction by Richard Fort in 1896, and was purchased by Henry Harrison Stuttard, who then became lord of the manor (Farrer and Brownbill 1911, 505). The sale catalogue describes Hammond Ground as ‘A Valuable Enclosure of Park Land’. The catalogue states that ‘The Vendor reserves Hammond Well and Cistern, situated on the above Lot with existing arrangements for taking water therefrom, which will be subject to the easement of water mains passing across it for the supply of Newtown and Friendship Mill.’ The course of the water main referred to is depicted on the sale plan (Figure 9), and this served Friendship Mill which was a cotton Mill constructed in 1884, which is still extant (PRN35070). The south-western corner of Hammond Ground is depicted as subdivided by a field boundary, probably a fenceline. The OS map of 1912 (Figure 10) depicts the PDA as largely unchanged, although there is a new field boundary which bisects the north-eastern corner of Hammond Ground, clipping the northern tip of the PDA. The Read Hall Estate was for sale by auction again in 1924, and Hammond Ground by this time had become part of a dairy farm known as Edmondson’s Farm, and is described as ‘meadow and pasture’ in the sale catalogue. The layout of Hammond Ground as depicted on the sale plan is unchanged apart from the removal of the fenceline towards the south- eastern corner of the field within the PDA. Subsequent historic mapping (Appendix 5) illustrates that by 1960 the field boundary towards the north-eastern corner of Hammond Ground had been removed by this time, but a new boundary had been inserted which zig-zagged across the centre of the field, dividing it into two. This field boundary had been removed by 1970 and subsequent mapping depicts no further change within the PDA in subsequent years. 4.2 Designated Assets On-Site There are no designated heritage assets within the PDA. Off-Site Within the wider 1km study area beyond the PDA there are nine designated heritage assets, comprising one Grade II* and eight Grade II Listed Buildings. These are listed in Table 1 below, and further details are provided in Appendix 1. The Grade II* Listed Building is indicated by a dark blue triangle on Figure 3, and the Grade II Listed Buildings by yellow triangles.

4.3 Non-Designated Assets

4.3.1 Archaeological Remains On-Site There is one archaeological asset listed on the LHER within the PDA, comprising Read Hall Park (PRN37695). However, analysis of satellite imagery coupled with the results of the site walkover and map regression have identified that there are a number of former field boundaries within the PDA (see Figure 13), some of which survive as earthworks comprising banks, ditches and discrete pits marking the likely locations of removed trees and/or fence posts, and these are features that are likely to pre-date the emparkment of this part of the estate, and reflect the former land-use of agricultural field of medieval and/or [post- medieval date. Off-Site In the wider 1km study area beyond the PDA there are 17 non-designated archaeological assets listed on the LHER and/or NRHE. Summary details of these assets are provided in Appendix 1, and the full LHER and NRHE entries are reproduced in Appendices 3 and 4. The locations of the LHER entries are illustrated by green stars, lines and polygons on Figure 2, and the NRHE entries are illustrated by magenta stars, lines and polygons.

4.3.2 Historic Buildings On-Site There are no Historic Buildings within the PDA.

An Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment of Hammond Ground, Read, Lancashire

Off-Site In the wider 1km study area beyond the PDA there are 14 non-designated historic buildings listed on the LHER and/or NRHE. Summary details of these assets are provided in Appendix 1, and the full LHER and NRHE entries are reproduced in Appendices 3 and 4. The locations of the LHER entries are illustrated by green stars, lines and polygons on Figure 2, and the NRHE entries are illustrated by magenta stars, lines and polygons.

4.3.3 Historic Landscape On-Site The PDA is located wholly within a small part of a larger HLC unit, which is of the Ancient and Post-Medieval Ornamental type. Off-Site There are nine HLC types represented within the wider 1km study area beyond the PDA, and these are tabulated in Table 2 below and illustrated on Figure 3. Table 2: HLC types Located within the wider study area NAME COUNT AREA Ancient Enclosure 416 92968.258 Post-Medieval Enclosure 352 114011.691 Ancient and PMed Wood 323 6503.624 Modern Settlement 302 33692.191 Modern Enclosure 193 28352.309 Modern Woodland 185 5442.650 Modern Recreation 162 6240.099 Modern Industry 128 6059.987 Ancient and PMed Ornamental 51 2044.098

5 ASSESSMENT OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF AFFECTED HERITAGE ASSETS The Ancient and Post-Medieval Ornamental HLC type is the rarest in Lancashire, covering some 0.5% of the county (LCC 2002, 122). As well as covering the smallest surface area of the county, this HLC type also has the fewest examples, there being only 51 examples in total. The HLC type has significance due to the illustrative historic value it possesses for the study, understanding and appreciation of designed landscapes. Such landscapes also have the potential for the good preservation of archaeological remains due to the low intensity of later parkland use, and consequently there is the potential for remains with evidential value to survive; in the case of the PDA, this finds expression in the surviving trees, banks and ditches of the former field boundaries that were removed in the early 19th century, providing legibility of the former HLC type which is considered to be Ancient Enclosure, which is a well–represented HLC type within Lancashire, covering some 24% of the county (Ede and Darlington 2002, 102). The HLC type also possesses an aesthetic value, as the

An Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment of Hammond Ground, Read, Lancashire

designed landscapes of the late 18th/early 19th century were created to imitate the ‘natural’ beauty of wild landscapes. It is considered that the Ancient and Post-Medieval Ornamental HLC type is of regional importance due to its scarcity within the county, as well as the wide range of heritage values that it possesses. Any archaeological remains that survive within the PDA will have significance due to the evidential value that they possess. The potential for earlier features to survive within the PDA should not be discounted, but the later known features relate to the enclosure of the landscape in the medieval or post-medieval period, and are considered to be of local significance. An initial assessment of the designated assets within the study area indicates that the majority would not be affected by the development proposals either directly or indirectly, as they are too distant and there would be no intervisibility possible between the PDA and the assets. The one asset that could be affected due to changes to its setting is Read Hall, which is located some 600m to the north-west of the PDA. This Grade II* Listed Building was constructed in Neo-Classical style in 1810-25 to a design by George Webster, and according to the NHLE entry potentially contains remnants of an 18th century house within its fabric. As such, it has significance due to its potential evidential value, as well as the associative historical value with the architect (George Webster) and owner (Richard Fort MP). It also possesses illustrative historical for the study of the development of the country estate, and possesses aesthetic value due to its Neo-classical architecture and its setting within its contemporary designed landscape.

6 ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS The proposed development is for residential housing comprising 50 units, with a mixture of single and two storey units. Potential impacts during the construction phase include the following.

Removal or truncation of heritage assets during ground works, site clearance and construction (e.g. removal of vegetation, erection of fencing, traffic movement, topsoil stripping).

Damage to buried archaeological remains due to rutting from construction traffic movement.

Impacts to the setting of Read Hall and read Hall Park. Read Hall is situated on higher ground some 600m to the north-west of the PDA, and is oriented to gain wide views southwards across the open expanse of the Calder valley. It is also located in an imposing position and it is a prominent horizon feature when viewed from the south, for example along Whalley Road. From the PDA, however, the Hall is hidden behind the thick band of woodland that lines the sides of Clough Syke, and consequently it is

considered unlikely that there would be any intervisibility between the PDA and the Hall. Even when the trees have shed their leaves, it is considered likely that there would be sufficiently dense vegetation to prevent any clear views between the PDA and the Hall. Nevertheless, the proposed development would be located within the wider setting of the Hall, as the surrounding parkland forms an important aspect of that setting. The development would result in the attrition of the surrounding parkland and the further expansion of the Victorian Newtown area of Read, which has already impinged upon the eastern side of the former extent of the park, and this would result in the further loss of c.4.12ha of a landscape considered to be of regional importance. Nevertheless, the proposed retention of all of the parkland trees within the PDA is welcomed and would mean that some legibility of the parkland landscape would be possible. There would be no impacts to the essential setting of Read Hall, comprising its immediate surroundings and ornamental features, and none of the key views to or from the Hall would be affected. Although the proposed development would be in its historical curtilage, this part of the parkland is considered to be of a lesser significance than the core of the estate, and the industrial activity undertaken in the vicinity, whilst of historic interest in its own right, suggests that this part of the landscape has already had to accommodate changes in land use from agriculture to parkland to extractive industry, prior to it returning to agriculture, albeit with legibility of the previous historic land-use types.

7 RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that if the planning application is successful, then a phased scheme of archaeological works should be undertaken. It is recommended that these works should initially comprise topographic and/or geophysical survey, followed by intrusive works such as trenching, strip, map and sample excavation or targeted excavation prior to development, and/or a watching brief during construction.

Description and Sources Description A flat celt, the faces of which have been ornamented and wrought into a series of slightly hollowed facets, from Read, Lancashire is in the British Museum. The central space between the two series of ridges and also the margins of the faces are ornamented with shallow chevrons, punched in. The sides have been hammered into three facets, and this has produced slight flanges at the margins of the faces. These facets are ornamented with diagonal lines. This celt was found with two others apparently of the same kind, and is described and engraved in Whitaker's ‘History of the Original Parish of Whalley’. The author says that these instruments were from 9 to 12ins long, and had a broad and narrow end, but had neither loops, grooves, nor any other contrivance by which they could be fixed in a staff or applied to any known use. That in the British Museum was obtained by the late Mr. Charles Towneley. The two others were formerly in the collections of the Rev Dr. Milles, FSA, and of Dr. Whitaker. {2}{3} Similar information: the one in the British Museum has been well described by Evans. The fluting on the faces of the axe recalls examples from Ireland. {4}{5} Sources ({1}) Map: OS. 1970. OS soil surv Lancs 1:250,000. ({2}) Bibliographic reference: Whitaker, T D. 1801.

Description and Sources Description … John Nowell of Read died in 1433 holding 'the manor' of the king as Duke of Lancaster by a rent of 9s. 9d.; his heir was a grandson Alexander (son of Nicholas) Nowell, aged twenty. Roger Nowell son and heir of Alexander was in 1468 to marry Grace daughter of John Towneley. Described as of Arksey, he died in 1486; his son John, who obtained a royal charter for imparking land in Read, died in 1525 holding the manor with various messuages, &c., of the king as duke by the old rent of 9s. 9d. His son Roger, over thirty years of age, was his heir. Roger died in 1566 holding the same estate, and leaving a son Thomas, aged forty, to succeed him. A pedigree was recorded in 1567. ... Read Hall is a plain two-story stone building of classic type, reconstructed from an older house by Mr. Fort between 1818 and 1825. The architect was Webster of Kendal, who did a great deal of work in the district, as well as north of the Ribble, at this period. The south or principal front has a central semicircular domed projection, with a colonnade of Ionic columns on the ground floor supporting a railed balcony above. The entrance is at the west under a portico of four columns [Notes to Whitaker's 'Whalley' (ed. 4, 1876), ii, 39]. The original building was an interesting house with central hall and projecting end wings, but it had been almost ruined by injudicious alterations carried out by Alexander Nowell prior to 1772. There is an engraving of the building as it was in 1750 in Whitaker's 'Whalley' (above). {4} Listed, Grade II {5}. A Neo-classical house not outstanding. There are no obvious remains of any earlier building in the external fabric. {6} Large house, 1818-25 by George Webster of Kendal on site of earlier mansion. Sandstone ashlar with hipped slate roofs. 2 storeys with attic. South front symmetrical, of 9 bays with cornice and blocking course, and clasping pilasters with sinkings. The 3 central bays project as a bow and have a dome, and a Tuscan colonnade in front of the ground floor supporting a balcony with iron railings. The present windows are mid C20 steel casements with glazing bars. The window sills are said to have been lowered. The west front is of 3 bays, the central bay projecting slightly and having a tetrastyle Ionic portico. On the east side the main block is of 3 bays. Set back to its right is a rear wing of 3 bays which could contain remains of a C18 house. Inside, the principal ground-floor rooms have plasterwork with Grecian detailing in strong relief. The long entrance hall is divided by 4 Ionic columns arranged in a square. Domed stair hall has geometric stair with iron balusters, rising in one flight and returning in 2 curved ones. Grade 2*. {7}{8} The layout of the estate is shown clearly on the OS 1:10,560 mapping of 1848 and the 1893 and later 1:2,500 sheets. The main house is set in a large demesne with accesses from Read village to the east and via a lodge (PRN18044) to the southwest onto Whalley Road. A further route (which appears less important) heads to the northwest, linking with the lane near Read Old Bridge and Read Mill. The demesne land is contiguous with that to Moreton Hall (PRN729) to the west, and it is not clear which hall the land (shown shaded as demesne land) on the south side of Whalley Road and named 'Old Park' and Scot Ground' belonged to. The area surrounding the hall contains a number of named areas, including Sagar Hey, New Marls, Front Field, Coppy and Hammond Ground, as well as significant areas of woodland. To the immediate north of the hall is a detached block of buildings, and to the north of that a group of buildings around a courtyard - a stable and carriage block or home farm? To the west of the courtyard is a kennel block. A block of land to the north may be a formal garden but is more probably a kitchen garden, and a plot to the north of that may be a small orchard. A grotto is marked to the east, north of a later fishpond. This fishpond had been constructed by 1893, as had an icehouse (PRN18043) to the east side of the orchard site. At this date greenhouses are present to the east of the possible kitchen garden and the kennels had been lost. {9}{10} Sources ({1}) Map: OS. 1960. OS geol surv Clitheroe sheet 68 solid 1:63,360.

Description and Sources Description A building and a sandstone quarry are shown on the OS first edition 1:10,560 map of 1848 at the south side of the junction of Old Roman Road and Whins Lane, Read. The sandstone quarry does not appear to be drawn in, but may be just inside the Read Park demesne; it is not marked on modern maps. The whole site appears to be named Cobcar Nook in 1848 and 1893, but modern maps call the buildings to the north of the road High House Farm (see PRN6144) and the other to the south Cobcar Nook. {4}{5} Sources ({1}) Map: OS. 1960.

Description and Sources Description This National School is shown on the OS first edition 1:10,560 map of 1848. It is not labelled as such on the 1893 1:2,500 sheet and building appears to be a different shape. The modern map annotates this row as 'Old Vicarage'. It seems possible that the structure was rebuilt between 1848 and 1893 and that an element of the site could then have functioned as the vicarage to the nearby Read St John (See PRN18041), but this would need further investigation to confirm. {4}{5}{6} Sources ({1}) Map: OS. 1960.

On the current sheet springs are shown where some of the wells were on the old sheet. One well, named on the 1848 sheet as 'Dudley Hill Well' is however still shown on the current (2007) sheet as a well, and is located on the north side of the road at SD 76073490. {4} Dudley Hill Well comprises a short stone-built culvert leading into the hillside, with water flowing slowly along its base and disappearing into a roadside drain. The culvert is capped by flagstones. The outer end of the culvert, including the outermost capping flagstone, has been disturbed recently but the structure does not appear dangerous. {5} Sources ({1}) Map: OS. 1960.

Monument Types and Dates COLLIERY (LCC Date1:1807?-1887?, (between) 19th Century to Victorian - 1807 AD? to 1887 AD?) Evidence DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE HAULAGE ENGINE HOUSE (LCC Date2: 1807?-1887?, 19th Century to Victorian - 1807 AD? to 1887 AD?)

Evidence STRUCTURE WATER WHEEL (LCC Date3: 1807?-1887?, 19th Century to Victorian - 1807 AD? to 1887 AD?) Evidence STRUCTURE

Description and Sources Description The site, along with an engine house and a tramway linking it to a coal staithe on the river Calder (PRN 13690), is shown on the OS first edition 1: 10,560 map. As well as these, an engine house and pit are grouped very close together on the OS first edition map, along with a water balance engine, on the north side of the river Calder, whilst another engine house, a considerable leat and mill pond are shown on the south side. A small wooden bridge, a little to the east gives access across the river, but the route from there to an embankment near 'Jacks Garden' (which would have linked to the tram road noted above) is not marked as a tram road, although this was probably its origin. A straight track on the south side of the bridge may represent an extension towards Syke Side. None of the mine structures are marked on the modern mapping, but a straight embankment on either side of the river may represent the line of the old haul road. It seems probable that the structures on each side of the river represent Water Wheel pit (PRN 7026, south side) and Dunkirk Pit (PRN 14693, north side), whilst the later Moorside colliery is a little further south (PRN 14697). {1}{2} Dunkirk Colliery. A drift in Gooseleach Wood, Read, worked by Jonas Lomax of Clayton Hall, but apparently linked with Altham Colliery Company's transport system. Abandoned c.1858. Remains: Engine Pit, situated on the north bank of the Calder. Much altered two storey rectangular building built of local stone with flag stone roof. Semi-quoined. Possibly a pump house. Colliery spoil in immediate area. Tramroad: South bank of Calder, embankment running in south-easterly direction towards Sykeside Bridge. Pier stumps of vanished bridge in river bed. Embankment passes on west side of Dunkirk Farm towards modern caravan site, paved at this point. Line can be picked up in a field north-west of caravan site, tunnel under former Great Harwood loop line, then follows contour of hill above River Calder, stone sleeper blocks can be seen in the river bed where parts of the embankment have eroded away. Embankment (on slight gradient) leads down to the Nursery Gardens at Cock Bridge. Traces of ruined building at junction, two storey cottage (original office?) with hipped roof. Note should also be taken of the large stabling block at Dunkirk Farm which may have housed horses used to work this tramroad. {3} Most coal-mine records name this pit as Dunkirk Colliery, but there are also documents calling it Decline Pit and Eyses Mine. It worked the Arley Mine seam from where it outcrops in the valley of the river Calder via an adit that descended with the dip. The trucks were drawn up the incline by means of an engine driven by water power. This water wheel is referred to as Constance Mary (but this may have been Constant Mary) and drove, via a dog-clutch, a winding drum that operated an endless rope down the adit. The water was abstracted from the Calder at a weir and ran in a partly culverted leat to the wheel, and thence via a long culverted tailrace, back to the river. [Much more detail, including brief discussions of other pits and features in the area. Matthews and Jeffery also excavated and restored much of the waterwheel winding site.] {4} Sources ({1}) Map: OS. 1893?. OS first edition Lancs 1:2,500 sheet 63.03. ({2}) Map: OS. 1848.

Description and Sources Description Church, 1884 by Ross of Accrington, with tower added 1911. Rock-faced sandstone with slate roof. Comprises a west tower with west chapel, a nave, a lower chancel which has a 3-sided apsidal east end, a north lean-to organ chamber and vestry, a gabled projection on the south, and a south porch. The nave, of 5 bays to the north and 4 to the south, has paired chamfered lancets. The porch is timber-framed above a stone base. Against the west wall, offset to the south, is the tower, which has angle buttresses which terminate with gablets against a stone spire. The bell openings are of 2 trefoiled lights with a trefoil under a pointed head. The west window is similar. To the north of the tower, against the west wall of the nave, is a single-storey lean-to chapel which has 3 windows each of one trefoiled light. Inside, the nave has scissor-braced trusses. At the west end 2 moulded pointed arches with octagonal column and semi-octagonal responds open into the chapel. A smaller arch to the south opens into the lower stage of the tower. The chancel arch is pointed and chamfered in 2 orders. Grade 2. {1} The OS 1:2,500 sheet of 1912 notes the area around the church as a 'Graveyard', this seems to have been extended to the west at a later date. A building to the northwest, at the corner of Church Close and George Lane (SD 7649734808) is shown on 1931 and later maps as 'Vicarage', but this structure was not extant on the 1893 1:2,500 mapping, suggesting that the vicarage must have been elsewhere at the time. This may reinforce the suggestion that the original vicarage was on the old National School site to the north (See PRN6146). {2}{3}{4}{5} Sources ({1}) Index: DCMS. -.

SMR Number Site Name Record Type PRN30739 - MLA27468 Pollard's Well, Straits Lane, Read Monument Named well, probably a spring site, pre-1848, moved by 1895 and refurbished in the later C20.

Monument Types and Dates WELL (LCC Date1: Pre-1848, (pre) Victorian - 1848 AD) Evidence DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE SPRING (LCC Date2: C20th, 20th Century - 1901 AD to 2000 AD) Evidence STRUCTURE

Description and Sources Description Pollard's Well, some 10m north west of Pollard's farm, is shown on the OS first edition 1:10,560 mapping of 1848 as located on the roadside. The conventional circle is also annotated with a broad arrow representing a Bench mark, with the legend 'B. M. 461.2'. From the well site a stream is shown flowwing south past the farm. {1} By the time of the OS 1:2,500 first edition map (1895) the road junction here has been realigned and the well would appear to have been moved a little to the north of its earlier site, which would now probably be under the road. A large round pond is shown west of the farm and the former stream now does not 'issue' until some distance further south. {2} Modern (2008) mapping does not show the pond or well and Pollard's Farm is now named 'Old Malley's'. The site was visited by P D Iles on request of the Highway section on 24 April 2008, following investigations into problem drainage in the area. The well - presumably that shown on the 1895 map, not that from 1848 - had been uncovered in the triangle of land in the Whins Lane/Straits Lane junction. It was in the form of a rectangular tank, built of stone and cement, with large sandstone and siltstone capping slabs. It measured c.450mm wide by 600mm deep and was c.1000mm long into the hillside (i.e. north). At the south end a modern (v. late C20th) clay drainage pipe had been used to link the tank to the modern street drainage, and it would appear that most of the tank, if not all, had been rebuilt at the same time. The circular pond noted in 1895 had vanished, but there were reputed to be a number of underground water tanks in its vicinity. {3} Sources ({1}) Map: OS. 1848.

SMR Number Site Name Record Type PRN31037 - MLA27825 Great Harwood Loop, Lancashire and Yorkshire Monument Railway Extant 1875-1980s, latterly as a mineral railway.

Monument Types and Dates RAILWAY (LCC Date1: 1875-1980s, (between) Victorian to Late 20th Century - 1875 AD to 1989 AD) Evidence STRUCTURE

Description and Sources Description … The eastern site boundary is formed by the disused Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway’s “Great Harwood” Loop railway line. The track to Knott’s passes below this under a stone bridge / underpass and through a brick revetted cutting. The railway operated from 1875 until the 1980s although latterly only as a single line “Mineral Railway” (Fig. 10). {1} The Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington & Colne Railway was part of the East Lancashire Railway, which ... was absorbed into the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway on 13 May 1859. The Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington & Colne Extension Railway was incorporated on 30 June 1845. It was opened from Blackburn to Accrington on 19 June 1848, from Accrington to Stubbins on 17 August 1848, from Stubbins to Burnley on 18 September 1848, and from Burnley to Colne (where it connected with the Midland Railway) on 1 February 1849. The 9-mile North Lancashire or Great Harwood Loop was added in 1875 ... [and] closed in 1964. {2} In the 1870s the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway built the North Lancashire Loop (also known as the Great Harwood Loop), a 9 mile (14 km) route through Great Harwood, Simonstone and Padiham, which bypassed Accrington. The line between Padiham and Rose Grove opened in 1875; west of Padiham it opened two years later as a result of difficulties in constructing the embankments between Great Harwood and Simonstone. Regular use of the North Lancashire Loop ceased in 1957; the route closed completely in 1964, with only the section from Rose Grove to Padiham Power Station remaining until 1993. {3} Sources ({1}) Digital archive: Under Construction Archaeology. 2008.

Monument Types and Dates COTTON MILL (LCC Date1: 1884-1981, (between) Victorian to Late 20th Century - 1884 AD to 1981 AD) Evidence EXTANT BUILDING

Description and Sources Description OAN Mills Survey Description: A weaving mill established by James and David Kemp on the south side of Whalley Road in Read in 1884. The mill housed 608 looms, powered by an Ashton, Frost& Company horizontal compound engine (181/2” + 32” x 4’6” stroke). This engine was replaced c 1924 with a Yates & Thom Uniflow. Due to the company failure the Olive Bank Mill Company Limited of Bury bought the mill in 1931 and increased the number of looms to 520. It was taken over by W & D Nutter in 1959, and weaving continued until 1981 when the site was used for industrial storage (Rothwell 1992). The Whalley Road frontage is occupied by a single-storey warehouse/preparation building, with modern extensions, and engine and boiler houses. The gable end of the engine house has a large round-headed window. A large, rectangular-plan weaving shed survives to the rear. The former reservoir was situated in the north-west corner of the mill yard, but its site is now occupied by houses. {1} Sources ({1}) Digital archive: Oxford Archaeology North. 2010.

Monument Types and Dates COTTON MILL (LCC date1: 1861-1950s, (between) Victorian to Late 20th Century - 1861 AD to 1959 AD) Evidence DEMOLISHED BUILDING

Description and Sources Description OAN Mills Survey Description: The Read Building Company Limited built a weaving mill in 1861/2 on the north side of Whalley Road. It was also known as the ‘Prince of Wales Shed’. It was furnished with 400 broad looms driven by a Henry Smithies of Blackburn 25hp horizontal engine. In 1873 this engine was rebuilt by W& J Yates to form a compound horizontal, 16” + 30” x 4’ stroke, which coincided with the increase to 601 looms. James & David Kemp were the sole tenants of the mill until its closure in 1930. A year later the mill was rescued by the Victoria Room & Power Company and reopened under the Ridge Manufacturing Company Limited of Burnley. Weaving ceased during the depression in the 1950s, after which the buildings were used in the manufacture of heaters by Valor Company (Rothwell 1992, 51). Site since cleared and redeveloped for housing. {1} Sources ({1}) Digital archive: Oxford Archaeology North. 2010. Lancashire Textile Mills Access Database. MDB.

Description and Sources Description Early C19 landscape park; listed as Grade A/B in 1998 and recommended for inclusion in English Heritage's Register of Parks and Gardens. {1} Read Hall and Park, SD 7570034759; District: Ribble Valley; Bennis and Dyke category: A (Recommended for designation); LGT category: Regional/County Importance; LGT type: Rural estate; Main dates: C14 and C19; Notes: Hall and gardens. {2} … John Nowell of Read died in 1433 holding 'the manor' of the king as Duke of Lancaster by a rent of 9s. 9d.; his heir was a grandson Alexander (son of Nicholas) Nowell, aged twenty. Roger Nowell son and heir of Alexander was in 1468 to marry Grace daughter of John Towneley. Described as of Arksey, he died in 1486; his son John, who obtained a royal charter for imparking land in Read, died in 1525 holding the manor with various messuages, &c., of the king as duke by the old rent of 9s. 9d. His son Roger, over thirty years of age, was his heir. {3} The presence of Park Head (PRN730), which is shown on William Yates' map of 1786 to the east of Read Hall and said to be of C17th origin, may support the presence of an earlier deer park here. An area of ground named 'Old Park' on OS mapping is centred at SD 74833448 to the south of Park Head and 'Old Park Plantation' lies adjacent. Equally, however, they may relate to the park at the adjacent Moreton Hall (PRN39769) or less probably Clerk Hill (PRN2653) to the north. {4} Sources ({1}) Digital archive: The Manchester Metropolitan University: School of Landscape. 1998.

Summary An Early Bronze Age decorated bronze flat axehead was found at Read, Lancashire, and is now in the British Museum. It is now in the British Museum. It was apparently found with two other similar axes in or before 1818.

Status Other Identifiers Notes A flat celt, the faces of which have been ornamented and wrought into a series of slightly hollowed facets, from Read, Lancashire, is in the British Museum. "The central space between the two series of ridges and also the margins of the faces are ornamented with shallow chevrons punched in. The sides have been hammered into three facets, and this produced slight flanges at the margins of the faces. These facets are ornamented with diagonal lines. This celt was found with two others, apparently of the same kind, and is described and engraved in Whitaker's "History of the Original Parish of Whalley (a). The author says that these instruments were from 9 to 12 inches long, and had a broad and narrow end, but had neither loops, grooves, nor any other contrivance by which they could be fixed in a shaft, or applied to any known use. That in the British Museum was obtained by the late Mr Charles Towneley. The two others were formerly in the collections of the Rev Dr Milles, FSA, and of Dr Whitaker." (1)

Similar information: The one in the British Museum has been well described by Evans. The fluting on the faces of this axe recalls examples from Ireland. (2)

Summary A weaving mill established by James and David Kemp on the south side of Whalley Road in Read in 1884. The mill housed 608 looms, powered by an Ashton, Frost & Company horizontal compound. This engine was replaced circa 1924 with a Yates & Thom Uniflow. Due to the company failure the Olive Bank Mill Company Limited of Bury bought the mill in 1931 and increased the number of looms to 520. It was taken over by W & D Nutter in 1959, and weaving continued until 1981 when the site was used for industrial storage. The Whalley Road frontage is occupied by a single- storey warehouse/preparation building, with modern extensions, and engine and boiler houses. The gable end of the engine house has a large round-headed window. A large, rectangular-plan weaving shed survives to the rear. The former reservoir was situated in the north-west corner of the mill yard, but its site is now occupied by houses.

A Landmark Information Group Service v47.0 24-Jul-2015 Page 1 of 11 Lancashire And Furness Published 1893 Source map scale - 1:2,500 The historical maps shown were reproduced from maps predominantly held at the scale adopted for England, Wales and Scotland in the 1840`s. In 1854 the 1:2,500 scale was adopted for mapping urban areas and by 1896 it covered the whole of what were considered to be the cultivated parts of Great Britain. The published date given below is often some years later than the surveyed date. Before 1938, all OS maps were based on the Cassini Projection, with independent surveys of a single county or group of counties, giving rise to significant inaccuracies in outlying areas.
