The assessment comprised a desk-based study followed by non- intrusive site inspections which were complemented by the monitoring of a series of test pit excavations by RSK Ltd. Information provided by Lancashire Historic Environment Record produced four known sites of archaeological interest in close proximity to the southeast side of the application site. The record includes the Grade II Listed Railway Viaduct that stands impressively between the site and the town centre. The remaining three sites relate to observations and investigations made into a series of undated earthworks and a buried stone culvert discovered at several locations during work in the area of the earthworks. While no previously recorded archaeology is located within the application site and no archaeology was revealed during the recent site visits or trial pitting, the assessment has shown that the site lies in an area of high historical significance.

This information was requested at a relatively late stage within the application process, with the principal objective being a greater understanding of the building’s interior. 1.2 The Whalley Arms is a disused public house in the centre of Whalley, standing at the junction of King Street with Accrington Road (NGR: SD 73354 36145). It is listed, grade II, and lies within the Whalley conservation area. 1.3 The earliest part of the Whalley Arms appears to be the west end, which fronts onto King Street. This block is dated 1781, and appears to have been purpose- built as an inn. To the rear (east), the building continues as a range of various structures and dates, of which the largest part was originally agricultural and equestrian in function. 2 Planning context 2.1 The Whalley Arms has been grade II listed since 19861, and lies within the Whalley conservation area (designated in 1972).
