Haydock Point St. Helens Historic Environment Desk-based Assessment

1.0 Introduction 1.1 This report provides a description of the historic environment baseline conditions for land at Haydock Point, St. Helens, north east of Junction 23 of the M6 Motorway (Figure 9.1.1). It has been prepared by The Environment Partnership (TEP) Ltd on behalf of Peel Investments Limited, in support of a planning application for the construction of a potential logistics hub.

1.2 The desk-based assessment has been undertaken in accordance with the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists Standard and Guidance for historic environment desk- based assessment (CIfA 2014). Site Location 1.3 The study area lies north of the A580 East Lancashire Road, between Liverpool and Manchester, and largely consists of agricultural fields and areas of woodland. It is situated in Haydock Park, a former medieval hunting ground, at post code WA12 0HL.The land is centred at approximately National Grid Reference SJ583976, and is within St Helen's District.

1.4 The local planning authority is the St. Helens Council. The Historic Environment Record (HER) relevant to this site is held by the Merseyside Environment Advisory Service. Aims and Objectives 1.5 The aim of this assessment is to provide:  a description of the policy context and method of assessment;  a description of the baseline historic environment conditions within and immediately adjacent to the site; and  a description of the significance of the designated heritage assets within 1km of the land. 1.6 This report provides a description of the baseline conditions for the historic environment within and immediately adjacent to the site, including an assessment of the potential for as yet unknown heritage assets within the site boundary.

1.7 This report does not provide an assessment of the likely effects of the proposed development. The assessment will be provided in the Environment Statement. This report is provided as a technical appendix in support of the Environment Statement.

2.0 Policy context and guidance Statutory Legislation 2.1 The following legislation is most relevant to this study.  Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979  Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 2.2 The 1979 Act does not make reference to the setting of scheduled monuments. However. Section 66 of the 1990 Act states that; "In considering whether to grant planning permission for development which affects a listen building or its setting the local planning authority… shall have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building or its setting".

2.3 Section 72 Part 1 of the 1990 Act provides a general duty in relation to conservation areas and planning functions, stating that; "… with respect to any buildings or other land in a conservation area… special attention shall be paid to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of that area". 2.4 Hedgerow Regulations 1997: A local authority can prohibit the removal of an 'important' hedgerow. Hedgerows can be considered important on grounds of historical or archaeological value or association. National Planning Policy 2.5 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) includes as a core planning principle (paragraph 17) to “conserve heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance, so that they can be enjoyed for their contribution to the quality of life of this and future generations”. Section 12 of the NPPF then goes on to describe provisions specifically relating to conserving and enhancing the historic environment. 2.6 Paragraph 128 advises local planning authorities to require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected by their proposal, including any contribution made by their setting. It states that “the level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance”. 2.7 The glossary to the NPPF describes significance in relation to heritage policy as “The value of a heritage asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest. That interest may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic. Significance derives not only from a heritage asset’s physical presence, but also from its setting”. 2.8 The setting of a heritage asset is defined as “the surroundings in which a heritage asset is experienced. Its extent is not fixed and may change as the asset and its surroundings evolve. Elements of a setting may make a positive or negative contribution to the significance of the asset, may affect the ability to appreciate that significance or may be neutral”.

Haydock Point St. Helens Historic Environment Desk-based Assessment

Local Planning Policy 2.9 Local planning policy relevant to this report is included in the St. Helens Local Plan Core Strategy. Policy CQL 4, Heritage and Landscape, states that: 2.10 "The council will protect, conserve, preserve and enhance St. Helens historic built and landscape character including designated and undesignated heritage assets such as Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas, Registered Parks and Gardens, Scheduled Ancient Monuments, archaeological sites and buildings and structures of local interest by… ensuring all new development respects the significance and distinctive quality of the built and historic environment and landscape character… ensuring that all development is located and designed in a way that is sensitive to its historic landscape and setting and retains or enhances the character and context." Guidance 2.11 Best practice guidance notes and standards relevant to the historic environment, and consulted in the production of this report comprise:

 Chartered Institute for Archaeologists Code of Conduct and Standard and Guidance documents;  National Planning Practice Guidance (2014),  Historic England, Historic Environment Advice Note 2 Making Changes to Heritage Assets (HE, 2015),  Historic England, Historic Environment Advice Note 3 The Setting of Heritage Assets (HE, 2015), and  Historic England, Conservation Principles; Policy and Guidance for the Sustainable Management of the Historic Environment (HE, 2008). 2.12 Conservation Principles (EH 2008) sets out Historic England’s approach to understanding heritage significance, and describes four groups of heritage ‘values’, which are referred to below:  Evidential value: the potential of a place to yield evidence about past human activity.  Historical value: the ways in which past people, events and aspects of life can be connected through a place to the present – it tends to be illustrative or associative.  Aesthetic value: the ways in which people draw sensory and intellectual stimulation from a place.  Communal value: the meanings of a place for the people who relate to it, or for whom it figures in their collective experience or memory.

3.0 Method Areas of Search 3.1 Data was gathered for all designated heritage assets within 1km of the development site boundary. This allowed for the identification of the heritage assets where the development could affect the contribution of the heritage asset’s setting to its significance. This study area is proportionate to the scale of the development, and was informed by a preliminary appraisal of baseline data.

3.2 Data has also been gathered for all non-designated heritage assets within the development site boundary and a 1km buffer from the site boundary. The area of search has been designed to be fully inclusive of the development site boundary to ensure that assets adjacent to the development site but with the potential to extend into are captured in baseline data. The 1km buffer is sufficient to gather data on any heritage asset where its setting could be affected by the development through inter- visibility. The area of search also allows for assets with archaeological interest within or adjacent to the development site to be placed in context, and for the identification of trends that may help to predict archaeological potential within the development site. Data Sources 3.3 The following sources were consulted:

 Aerial photographs and satellite images;  Archaeology Data Service;  British Geological Survey;  The Historic Environment Record (HER) maintained by Merseyside Environmental Advisory Service;  Historic Ordnance Survey Maps;  The National Monuments Record (NMR) maintained by Historic England;  The National Heritage List maintained by Historic England; 3.4 The Historic Environment Record was consulted on 29th November 2016. Site Visit 3.5 The development site was visited on 7th December 2016. A Walk-over Survey record sheet was completed that recorded the following data:  Date of survey  Surveyor(s)  Weather conditions  Site description  Known heritage assets (noting presence or absence and condition)  Archaeological potential  Potential Heritage Assets  Health and safety

Haydock Point St. Helens Historic Environment Desk-based Assessment

Assessing Heritage Significance 3.6 The significance of a heritage asset is described in terms of the value of the heritage asset because of its heritage interest (architectural, archaeological, artistic or historic) and is also described in relation to the asset’s heritage values (evidential, historical, communal, and aesthetic).

3.7 For designated assets (Listed Buildings (LB), Scheduled Monuments (SM)), Registered Parks and Gardens, Registered Battlefields, World Heritage Sites and Conservation Areas), the importance is ‘high’ or ‘very high’ as these assets meet the national criteria for designation under the relevant legislation. Listed Buildings and Registered Parks and Gardens are graded (I, II* and II) according to relative significance. 3.8 The relative significance of each non-designated heritage asset within the historic environment baseline has also been determined to provide a framework for comparison. These categories do not reflect a definitive level of significance or value of a heritage asset, but a provisional one based on the asset’s heritage values to provide an analytical tool that can inform later stages of assessment and the development of appropriate mitigation, where needed. Some non-designated assets can be of equivalent importance to designated heritage assets. In these cases, their relative importance means that they are treated as if they are designated assets.

Table 1 Criteria for determining heritage significance

Limitations of this Assessment 3.9 Monument data from the HER and NMR consists of secondary information derived from varied sources. This data, as well as that derived from other secondary sources, is generally accurate. There are however several limitations to the data set, generic to any historic environment assessment. For example, where the known archaeological data relates to chance finds, or cropmark evidence, the full extent, date and nature of the asset is often uncertain. Also, a number of records, especially older records such as antiquarian finds, excavations or observations often fail to accurately locate assets. 3.10 Due to these limitations, it is possible that previously unrecorded heritage assets with archaeological interest could survive within the proposed area of development. Additionally, due to the buried and invisible nature of archaeological assets, there is often an element of uncertainty regarding the survival, condition, nature and extent of any such assets. During the site visit / walk over survey, reasonable visual checks were made to ensure that all reasonable endeavours have been undertaken to ensure that all heritage assets have been identified; but this does not preclude the possibility of the existence of unknown heritage assets.

Background and context Site Geology and Topography 4.6 The bedrock of the site is recorded by the British Geological Survey (BGS) as part of the Chester Pebble Beds Formation. It comprises fine to coarse grained sandstone, commonly pebbly, with conglomerates and sporadic siltstones. The superficial geology is a mixture of Glaciolacustrine deposits and Till. The former comprises sand and gravel, while the latter sediment is diamicton: poorly sorted particles varying in size from clay to boulders, suspended in a matrix of mud or sand. 4.7 The site in generally flat, but with some gentle undulations, at an elevation of 38m above Ordnance Datum. 6068.01.03 Page 7 December 2016 Version 1.0

Archaeological and Historical Background Prehistoric

4.8 The prehistoric period is not well represented within the area, with no recorded assets from the period within the development site or 1km buffer. However, a recent excavation by the Wigan Archaeological Society (2007) excavated Lady Hill mound, a site that lies on the edge of the woodland just south of Haydock Park. It was possibly a Bronze Age Barrow. It is likely poor drainage and heavy soils would have discouraged significant early settlement and farming within the area (Museum of Liverpool 2011). Roman 4.9 The A49 follows the line of a Roman road (NDHA1) that linked Wilderspool (Warrington) with Wigan. However, there is no evidence of any associated activity from the Roman or sub-Roman period within the land or its vicinity. Medieval 4.10 The development site is situated between two towns, Newton-le-Willows, and Ashton- in-Makerfield, and is close to the village of Haydock. Haydock is first mentioned in documentary sources in 1169 as Hedoc, which translates to 'place where Barley is grown'. Newton-le-Willows is recorded in the Domesday Book. Unlike other towns in the vicinity, which grew from dispersed settlements, it developed as a medieval market town, centred on a typical linear 'High Street' Plan (Museum of Liverpool 2011). Ashton-in-Makerfield is first referenced in documentary sources in 1212, under the name Eston. It is a common name which usually indicates "farmstead where ash trees grow". The affix Makerfield derives from an old district name recorded in 1121, Macrefeld, which combines Celtic and Old English words for wall, ruin, and open land (Mills 2003). 4.11 The earliest documentary evidence for a manor at Haydock (NDHA3) dates to 1168, when Orm de Haydock paid out "two of the 10 marks due from him to the aid for marrying the King's daughter." A survey dating to 1466 describes a "Hall built in olden times with a chapel and barn and another large barn newly built as a tithe barn… a large granary… a stable and malt kiln with a large courtyard and turf house…" 4.12 Haydock Hall is likely to have been associated with a former Deer Park. The 1849 Ordnance Survey mapping shows a boundary labelled as ‘Deer Park’ encompassing an area that includes part of Haydock Park (NDHA2), but also land to the west of the A49, suggesting an association with Haydock Hall. Haydock Park (NDHA2) can be traced back to 1344, when Gilbert, son of Matthew de Haydock, "… had a grant of free warren in Haydock and Bradley in 1344, also leave to make a park in Haydock". 4.13 The medieval landscape of the area was characteristically rural, home to manorial estates and an agricultural economy with market associated commodities.

6068.01.03 Page 8 December 2016 Version 1.0

Haydock Point St. Helens Historic Environment Desk-based Assessment

Post medieval 4.14 During the post medieval period the development vicinity experienced some urban development and population growth, largely due to the advancing coal mining industry that surrounded Haydock in the nineteenth century, and its proximity to the rapidly industrialising St Helens (Museum of Liverpool 2011). The construction of nearby railway works (NDHA40, NDHA41, and NDHA44) assisted this growth. 4.15 Haydock Lodge (NDHA5) is documented from the late 17th century and may have once been a hunting lodge within the Deer Park, referenced above, but was developed into a mansion associated with the Legh Family during the post medieval period. By the early 19th century the Lodge was in use as a Cavalry Barracks (evidence for this includes a tomb in Ashton Churchyard to an Edmund Naghton, Esq., of the 88th Regiment of Connaught Rangers, killed by a fall from his horse at Haydock Lodge in 1836). In 1844 Haydock Lodge was converted to use as an asylum. It is reported that the original building was burnt down in 1872, but immediately rebuilt and it continued in use as an asylum until it was demolished in 1970.

4.16 When Haydock Lodge was converted to an asylum the associated park appears to have been taken into agricultural use, according to historic map evidence, with boundaries within the former park typical of late 19th century and 20th century enclosure. Haydock Park Farm (NDHA49) and Park Cottages (NDHA50) both date from between 1849 and 1893.The land surrounding Haydock Lodge is referred to on Ordnance Survey base mapping as Haydock Park (NDHA2). The form and surviving elements of the parkland are typical of late 18th century and early 19th century landscape design, intended to look natural but actually incorporating landscaping, plantation woodland and water management features (all of which are evident within Haydock Park). Haydock Park also included, by 1894, a coursing ground, which by 1908 had been formalised into a horse racing track (Haydock Park Race Course).

4.17 The presence of farmhouses and outbuildings indicates the agricultural nature of much of the land during the post medieval period (NDHA33, NDHA34, NDHA37, NDHA43, and NDHA49). However, the industrialisation of the development vicinity is clearly represented in the presence of railways and collieries (NDHA8, NDHA39, NDHA40, and NDHA41).

4.18 For the duration of the post medieval period the development vicinity industrialised and grew, in terms of population and infrastructure. Nonetheless, some of the rural character was retained and farming remained an important economy. Modern

4.19 The urban growth of the study area continued into the modern period. Residential housing multiplied and additional railway routes (NDHA44) were constructed, as well as new stations (NDHA45 and NDHA46). These railway works were decommissioned by the 1950s and 1960s.

6068.01.03 Page 9 December 2016 Version 1.0

Haydock Point St. Helens Historic Environment Desk-based Assessment

4.20 During the modern period, Haydock Park Race Course and Haydock Park Golf Course were constructed within Haydock Park (NDHA2). Haydock Lodge (NDHA5) ceased to be a hospital and was demolished in the 1970s. In the former gardens residential dwellings were built, and on the site of the lodge a hotel has been constructed. However, the gates of the Lodge are extant and are visible along Lodge Lane.

4.21 During the Second World War and shortly after, there was a Prisoner of War camp (NDHA47) in the development vicinity, at Garswood Park.

4.22 A significant change to the landscape occurred with new road construction, the dual carriage way, East Lancashire Road (A580), and the M6, both constructed by 1965.

Previous Archaeological Events 4.23 Archaeological investigation of part of Haydock Park was undertaken in 2007 by Wigan Archaeological Society. Their work suggested that the area has potential for prehistoric period remains (referenced above), but the excavations have not been reported. 4.24 Oxford Archaeology North undertook archaeological recording for a United Utilities pipeline in 2009-2011. The pipeline passed through the park but did not record any archaeological evidence pre-dating the 18th century (MEAS Development Management Advice, 14th December, 2016).

Historic Map Regression 4.25 A summary of the reviewed historic maps, and any key features noted, is provided below:

Table 2 Historic map regression

Map Description

The map is not very detailed, however Haydock Lodge is Yates, 1786 clearly marked. The development site appears to be in fields, with a road following the western edge of the site.

The map is more detailed than the former, but there is not Greenwood's Map of substantial change. The development site is marked primarily Lancashire, 1818 as parkland surrounding Haydock Lodge.

Map Description

The eastern edge of Haydock park now reaches the road that lines the western edge of Golborne Park. Railway lines are now Hennet, 1829 present to the east and south of the development site.

The development site is situated in enclosed fields, with Haydock Lodge (NDHA5) clearly marked. The Warrington to Wigan road is to the west of the development site. The Roman road (NDHA1) is marked to the west of the development site. OS First Series 1843 The Dean Brook borders the western section of the 1:63,360 development site before forking, with one course following a north south orientation, running below the line of the north western border of the site. The other continues running east- west to Lady Hill Dam, located in what is today Lady Hill Plantation.

The road layout and field patterns are roughly the same. The OS County Series: development site is still located within enclosed fields, in Lancashire and Haydock Park (NDHA2). Haydock Lodge (NDHA5) is now Furness 1849 indicated as a lunatic asylum. White Door Covert, including 1:10,560 White Door Damn, now border the east of the development site. There is an old gravel pit to the east of Haydock Lodge.

Liverpool, St. Helens, and South Lancashire Railway (NDHA40) is marked to the north of the development vicinity, but as yet incomplete. The Colliery Railway (NDHA41) runs north to south between Old Boston Colliery (NDHA39) and Haydock Colliery, joining with Wood Pit Colliery in the north. St Thomas Church now has an associated school, located to the east of the church. There is a reservoir to the east of Haydock Lodge (NDHA5). Ashton Heath Gravel Pits no longer exist. A coursing OS County Series: ground has replaced three fields to the north of White Door Lancashire and Covert, complete with a grand stand. Kennels are now located Furness 1893 to the east of Haydock Lodge. White Door Covert now hosts a 1:2,500 pheasantry. There is a farm to the west of Fox Covert, labelled Haydock Park Farm (NDHA49). To the east of the farm are the Haydock Park Cottages (NDHA50). An old sand pit that was located to the north of the site of the cottages is no longer present. The wood that existed to the south of the cottages is now labelled King's Coppice. There are now coal pits in Old Boston. For the most part, the field patterns and road layout are largely similar.

Map Description

Where there has not been development, the field patterns are roughly the same. The land to the south of Haydock Farm is now Haydock Park Golf Course. The coursing ground is now OS County Series: officially Haydock Park Race Course, with stables and Lancashire and additional stands to the north. The St. Helen's branch railway Furness 1907 line is more complete, with Mineral line trajectories. There is a 1:2,500 route of railway (NDHA44) connecting Old Boston Colliery to the St. Helen's branch. There is now a railway station (NDHA46) in Ashton-in-Makerfield, and a station for Haydock Park (NDHA45)

OS County Series: Wicken Hedge Sewage works have been added to the west of Lancashire and Wicken Hedge. Makerfield Mill (cotton weaving) lies to the north Furness 1928 of Haydock Park (NDHA2). There are more stables and stands 1:2,500 around the Haydock Park Race Course.

OS County Series: Lancashire and No change Furness 1929 1:10,560

The East Lancashire Road now lies directly south of the development site. It has an east to west course and is the basis OS Plan 1956 of the modern A580. Penny Lane House (NDHA38) is no 1:10,560 longer present. The local towns and villages (Newton-le- Willows, Haydock, and Ashton-in-Makerfield) have grown.

There is now a car park next to the racecourse and more OS Plan 1960-1961 residential properties within the local towns and villages. Lady 1:2,500 Hill Dam is no longer present.

OS Plan 1965 The M6 now cuts across Lodge Lane and the Roman road 1:10,560 (NDHA1), and there are additional roads connecting to it.

Haydock Lodge is no longer identified as a hospital. There is now a large oil distribution terminal to the east of Haydock Park. OS Plan 1971 There are two new schools on the southern edge of Ashton-in- 1:1,250 Makerfield. There is a new scrap metal works to the west of Lodge Lane. The route of railway that connecting the collieries (NDAH44) is no longer present.

4.26 The historic map regression demonstrates that the landscape including, and within the vicinity of, the proposed development site has altered to accommodate industrialisation and population growth. The development site has largely retained its rural character, aside from the major roads (A49, A580, and M6) that partially border the west and south sides. Historic Hedgerows 4.27 Hedgerows within the development site have been assessed against the criteria in Scheduled 1, Part II of the Hedgerow Regulations 1997. 4.28 Historic map regression indicates the presence of former and extant historic field boundaries within the land. The hedgerows to the east of the M6 are fairly modern in character. Previous disturbance of the land was noted, within the areas of former Wicken Hedge Sewage Works (evidenced by a series of manhole covers) and within the areas disturbed by the construction of the M6 motorway and widening of the East Lancashire Road. 4.29 There is a fragmentary survival of a former hedgerow, present on the OS Map 1849, to the north of the development site (Photograph 2). The outline of its trajectory is seen as a cropmark. The walk-over survey confirmed the presence of plantation woodland associated with the former parkland, also indicated on the OS Map 1849, bordering the eastern edge of the development site (Photograph 3). There is a hedgerow that lines the pumping station overflow. While the hedge is likely modern, it probably follows a former boundary line, possibly the first half of Dean Brook (Photograph 1). Historic Landscape Character 4.30 The historic landscape character of the land has been changed by the construction of the M6, the abandonment of Haydock Park, the widening of the East Lancashire Road, and other modern development immediately adjacent to the land. There are, however, remnants of Forestry and Plantation Woodland, which demark the extent of former parkland.

Evidence from LiDAR data 4.31 The open access LiDAR data is incomplete for the development site. However, some tracks and field boundaries are visible, including the landscaping of the race course. There was no new or additional data regarding as yet unknown heritage assets found from reviewing the partial LiDAR data.

Site visit 4.32 A site visit was undertaken on 7th December 2016. The development site consists of arable land. The site is generally flat, however some gentle undulations may indicate the headland of former ridge and furrow, now worn away through ploughing. There is a pipeline overflow next to a trackway and hedgerow that runs east west along the northern boundary and then through the site. There are overhead lines parallel to the track (Photograph 1). A pipeline, identifiable by the brick manhole covers, runs roughly north south through the site. In general the land is open, with remnants of hedgerows to the north. There is extant former woodland marking the eastern boundary of the site (Photograph 3). Designated heritage assets within area of search 4.33 There are two designated heritage assets within the study area. They are: (i) LB1 - Dean School House, Newton-in-Makerfield.

(ii) LB2 - 37 Barn Lane, Golborne. 4.34 Dean School House (LB1) is a Grade II Listed Building of high heritage significance, due to its national importance. It is situated south of Fox Covert Woodland, approximately 950m from the development site.

4.35 37 Barn Lane (LB2) is a late 17th century house that incorporates an earlier timber framed structure. The building is designated for its architectural heritage interest and is of high heritage significance. It is approximately 850m east of the development site. 4.36 The setting of the listed buildings comprises their group value and association with their surroundings. The development site is not within the surroundings in which these buildings are experienced and is not within the setting of the listed buildings. Non-designated heritage assets within area of search 4.37 There are fifty non-designated heritage assets within the area of search, comprising:

Roman 4.38 There is one non-designated asset relating to the Roman period:  NDHA1 - The Roman road between Wilderspool and Wigan. It is of low heritage significance. Medieval

4.39 There are two non-designated heritage sites relating to the medieval period:

6068.01.03 Page 14 December 2016 Version 1.0

Haydock Point St. Helens Historic Environment Desk-based Assessment

 NDHA2 - There development site is located within a medieval hunting park, Haydock Park. The park is poorly preserved, now mainly agricultural land, and is of low heritage significance.  NDHA3 - The site of Haydock Hall, a manor house that was replaced by a farm building by 1743, and truncated by modern development. It is of negligible significance.

Post medieval 4.40 The majority of the non-designated heritage assets within the development vicinity relate to the post medieval period, 43 in total. The assets recorded to this period are primarily of negligible significance, mostly truncated by modern development. They are detailed in the gazetteer, and in summary comprise:  Haydock Lodge (NDHA5), demolished in the 1970s, now the site of a modern hotel.  Farmhouses (NDHA20, NDHA31, NDHA33 and NDHA34) and associated outbuildings (NDHA43) dating to the eighteenth century. These assets are of low heritage significance.  Housing makes up the majority of the non-designated heritage assets. Modern redevelopment has built over and destroyed most of the assets, twenty five in total, and thus they are of negligible heritage significance. Eight are of low heritage significance: either the building is extant, or the site of the buildings is undisturbed by modern construction.  There are five industrial assets that date to the post medieval period. They comprise: o Dean Watermill (NDHA4), now demolished, is documented from 1681. The site of the mill has not been redeveloped, and is thus of low heritage significance. o The route of the nineteenth century St Helens Branch of the Liverpool, St Helens and Lancashire Railway (NDHA40), and two routes of railway connecting to the collieries (NDHA41, NDHA44). These railway works are all of low heritage significance. o The site of Old Boston Colliery (NDHA39), a late 19th century colliery, has been built over by an industrial estate, rendering the heritage significance negligible.

Modern 4.41 There are three non-designated heritage assets relating to the modern period:  NDHA45 and NDHA46 - Two stations, Haydock Park Station and Ashton- in-Makerfield station, that opened at the start of the twentieth century and closed by the 1960s.  NDHA47 - Second World War Prisoner of War Camp 4.42 These assets are of low heritage significance.

Undated 4.43 There is one undated non-designated heritage asset in the study area, a cropmark of a two bay structure identified in 1996 (NDHA48). It is of negligible heritage significance as it lies within an area of industrial redevelopment. Archaeological potential 4.44 The development site has a low potential for the presence of heritage assets with archaeological interest dating from the prehistoric periods, given the lack of recorded assets for this period within or immediately adjacent to the site. 4.45 While the western side of the development site lies immediately adjacent to the Roman road (NDHA1), its heritage significance is low. However, there is moderate potential for associated Roman archaeology within the development vicinity, including the development site. 4.46 The site has a moderate potential for the survival of as yet unidentified buried archaeological remains dating to the medieval period. Documentary evidence records medieval activity within the development vicinity, with mention of Haydock Hall (NDHA3) in 1168 and Haydock Park (NDHA2) in 1344. The surrounding towns similarly have early origins, with Newton-le-Willows recorded in the Domesday Book. 4.47 The development site is within Haydock Park (NDHA2), a former medieval hunting ground. The former boundary is still extant on the south-eastern side. The former parkland has low heritage significance because it is not well preserved. Given the lack of any well preserved (moderate to high significance) heritage assets identified through desk-based assessment or walk-over survey, the likelihood of finding as yet unknown archaeological remains dating to this period within the development site is considered to be low.

4.48 Baseline conditions indicate that the study area, including the development site, has a moderate potential for the presence of as yet unknown archaeological remains heritage assets with archaeological interest dating from the post-medieval and modern periods. This period is well represented in the known heritage assets recorded in the baseline data. For example, Haydock Lodge (NDHA5) is associated with Haydock Park (NDHA2), in which the development site is situated. However, it has been demolished and re-developed, rendering its evidential value negligible. 4.49 To the west of the development site is the location of a former Second World War Prisoner of War camp. It is of low heritage significance and of low evidential value as the land has been developed to accommodate a school. While within the site vicinity, lack of immediate proximity means that development would not affect any as yet unknown buried archaeological remains relating to this site. 4.50 Evidence relating to activity during these periods, if present, is likely to have low heritage significance.

5.0 Discussion and conclusions Summary of baseline conditions 5.1 The development site is situated within Haydock Park (NDHA2), a heritage asset of low heritage significance due to modification over time: the former parkland is not well preserved. Excluding this, there are no known heritage assets within the development site and the baseline data does not suggest that the archaeological potential of the site is greater than low to moderate.

5.2 Baseline conditions are such that the Environmental Impact Assessment undertaken for the Proposed Development should include an assessment of the physical effects on heritage assets with archaeological interest and an assessment of the likely effects on the settings of both designated and non-designated heritage assets. Archive 5.3 This report will be archived with the Merseyside HER and OASIS within six months of completion, unless otherwise instructed by the client.
