An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment at Dinting Vale Business Park, Glossop, Derbyshire

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Amdec Industrial Products Ltd to produce an archaeological desk-based assessment at Dinting Vale Business Park, Glossop, Derbyshire. This desk-based assessment was commissioned to support a planning application that has been submitted to High Peak Borough Council for the regeneration of the Business Park to provide offices, industrial/commercial premises, a showroom, and associated access and landscaping. The Derbyshire HER and NRHE record the entire site as being the southern-most extent of Edmund Potter’s Dinting Vale Print Works, at one point the largest calico-printing works in the world. The majority of the structures within the site were largely demolished by 2000, though one partial structure, in addition to several partial upstanding remains and boundaries of the works still survive in situ. The proposed redevelopment of the site includes the demolition of the upstanding remains of an outer wall and gable, and the removal of a large extent of the north-eastern boundary wall, all of which represent the truncated remains of a pair of 19th century structures associated within the Dinting Vale Print Works. The proposed demolition plan also includes the removal of much of the low-stone boundary walls which once demarcated the area of a narrow millpond. The removal of these features will have a moderate adverse impact upon the evidential, illustrative historical and design values of the site, as they represent some of the last remaining features of the 19th century Print Works. The proposed redevelopment of the site also includes the construction of two new structures: one which will be located to the north-east of the existing building, and one which will be constructed adjacent the north-western boundary wall. The construction of these buildings will likely result in the disturbance of buried archaeological remains associated with the Dinting Vale Print Works. The proposed footprints of the new structures includes the location of the 6-bay structures built by 1865, and also the later extensions built by 1880. While the level of demolition across the site is unknown, if the buildings were levelled to the present ground level, it is likely that evidence of the former Print Work buildings would survive below the concrete pad. It is recommended that a Historic England Level 2 building recording be carried out on the one upstanding structure, partial outer wall and gable, the boundary wall adjacent the A57, and the two stone walls within the present car park, as the proposed plans indicate that the majority of these assets will be demolished or significantly altered. It is also recommended that should planning permission be granted, a phase of targeted trial trenching be carried out within the footprint of the proposed two new structures to assess the survival of any below-ground archaeological remains that may be present. Depending upon the results of the archaeological evaluation, it may be appropriate to carry out archaeological excavation to further record any significant surviving archaeological remains as part of a mitigation strategy prior to commencement of any development works.

An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment at Dinting Vale Business Park, Glossop, Derbyshire

1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project and Planning Background Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Amdec Industrial Products Ltd to produce an archaeological desk-based assessment at Dinting Vale Business Park, Glossop, Derbyshire. This desk-based assessment (hereafter DBA) was commissioned to support a planning application that has been submitted to High Peak Borough Council (Application Reference HPK/2017/0693) for the regeneration of the Business Park to provide offices, industrial/commercial premises, a showroom, and associated access and landscaping. The consultation response regarding the proposed works provided by the Derbyshire Development Control Archaeologist stated the following: The proposed development site corresponds to Derbyshire Historic Environment Record number: 6143, the former Dinting Vale Printworks. This was a calico-printing works established in 1825 by Edmund Potter, and at one point possibly the largest in the world. This site is a non-designated heritage asset. At that time, Steve advised that the boundary walls of the proposal site and at least one of the internal buildings appeared to survive form the 19th century complex and that archaeological remains of the printworks would be likely to survive below-ground within the site. Taking this into account, it was recommended that a heritage impact assessment be prepared of the site, which should include an archaeological desk-based assessment and built heritage appraisal, with map regression, documentary/archive search and walkover. Unfortunately, the heritage statement which has been submitted with the application does not include an archaeological desk-based assessment, and whilst there are photographs and descriptions of the current site conditions, the surviving buildings and building fabric on the site are considered in terms of their architectural merit, rather than the archaeological information about the use of the site which it constitutes. Whilst the potential for below ground archaeological remains is acknowledged, these are dismissed as being of low significance. However, in the absence of a more detailed research into the industrial, and potential earlier, archaeology of the site, this is an easy conclusion to draw. The information which has been submitted with this application does not meet the requirements at NPPF para 128. In order to address this, we would recommend that the applicants be asked to produce the archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey, which was originally recommended. The Edmund Potter archive should be accessed to inform this report. The report should assess the significance of the heritage assets on the site (including below ground archaeology) and the impact of the proposed works upon it. It should be produced by a suitably qualified heritage professional with experience in industrial archaeology. The results of this assessment should then inform any required changes to the scheme to conserve its significance or to mitigate for the loss of any significance. NPPF para 128 requires that applicants establish the significance of heritage assets, and the level of proposed impact to that significance through their development proposals. The applicant must also show that the proposals represent ‘sustainable development’ – in that they ‘contribute to protecting and enhancing our natural, built and historic environment’

An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment at Dinting Vale Business Park, Glossop, Derbyshire

(NPPF para 7). The requested archaeological study will inform this with regard to the heritage asset involved. We would recommend that the application is not determined until the results of these studies are available to inform sensitive works to the site. This desk-based assessment addresses these issues and provides the required information to enable an informed decision to be made regarding the proposed development. 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.0.5ha in area. The site is accessed from an entrance along the A57, which forms the north-eastern boundary of the site. The site is further bounded to the north-west by the other structures that make up the present Dinting Vale Business Park, to the south-west by woodland, and to the south-east by the Woodend House property. The site itself contains a single building within the centre of the site and is centred at NGR SK 01674 94571 (Figure 1). 1.3 Geology The underlying solid geology of the PDA comprises sandstone of the Huddersfield White rock formation, formed approximately 320 to 322 million years ago in the Carboniferous Period when the local environment was previously dominated by swamps, estuaries and deltas. This is overlain by superficial deposits of clay and silt alluvium and devensian till (BGS 2018). The soils of the PDA are classified as belonging to the Brickfield 3 Soil Association (713g), which are cambic stagnogley soils, which are clay loam throughout and commonly contain many sandstones or, locally shales (SSEW 1983. These soils form as drift from Palaeozoic sandstone and shale, and are characterised as ‘slowly permeable seasonally waterlogged fine loamy fine loamy over clayey and clayey soils (Cranfield University 2018).

2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The principal aims of this assessment are to produce a report detailing any archaeological potential of the PDA, and to assess the potential impacts of the proposed development upon any buried and upstanding archaeological remains and to assess their significance. 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 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.

3 METHOD STATEMENT The DBA was undertaken in accordance with the guidelines set out in The Chartered Institute for Archaeologists’ Standards and Guidance for Historic Environment Desk Based Assessment (CIfA 2014). The approach to the assessment of significance is set out in Conservation Principles (English Heritage 2008), which states that the significance of heritage assets derives from the ‘heritage values’ that they possess, which may be evidential, historical (either illustrative or associative), aesthetic or communal. Reference is also made to ‘heritage significance’ as described in NPPF, which is defined 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’ (DCLG 2012, 56). 3.1 Study Area The study area adopted for this assessment comprises a 1km off-set from the ‘redline boundary’ of the proposed development area. The extent of the 500m study area is depicted by a blue polygon on Figure 1. 3.2 Information Sources The following sources of information were consulted to inform this assessment:

 The Derbyshire Historic Environment Record (HER) for information regarding known archaeological remains, previous archaeological investigations, aerial photographs, and an extract from the Derbyshire Historic Landscape Characterisation.

 The online National Heritage List for England (NHLE) maintained by Historic England for information regarding designated assets, as well as their downloadable GIS datasets of Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, Registered Parks and Gardens of Historical Interest, Registered Battlefields and World Heritage Sites.

 The National Record for the Historic Environment (NRHE) maintained by Historic England Archives at Swindon for information regarding archaeological assets and investigations collated at a national level.

 The Derbyshire Record Office (DRO) for available historic maps, the Edmund Potter archive, and any other relevant historic documents.

 The British Geological Survey onshore digital maps at 1:50 000 scale (DiGMapGB-50- WMS).

An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment at Dinting Vale Business Park, Glossop, Derbyshire

 Other relevant books and journals that are identified in the course of the data collection.

 A walkover survey to validate the results of the baseline data collection, to identify and record all building heritage and archaeological features and to determine whether any hitherto unrecorded sites may survive within the proposed development area.

4 BASELINE DATA 4.1 Archaeological and Historical Background

4.1.1 Prehistoric – Medieval Periods There is a scarcity of early prehistoric remains within the Dinting area, with only two remains documented on the Derbyshire HER and NRHE within 1km of the PDA. The earliest, a late Mesolithic flint and chert scatter (HER 6101), which included wasted flakes, blades, cores, scrapers and microliths, was found on the gravel hill adjacent Melandra Castle Roman Fort (NHLE 1004595). A possible Bronze Age barrow (NRHE 605424) c.936m to the north- east of the PDA is recorded as containing the skeleton of ‘a very large and strongly built man’ in addition to a possible beaker or drinking cup (Addy 1908, 129). During the Iron Age/early Romano-British period, much of the Peaks were a part of the Celtic kingdom of the Brigantes. Appearing to be more of a confederation of amalgamated tribes rather than a single kingdom, Brigantia was incorporated into the Roman Empire in the mid AD 70s, some 20 years after the Roman army’s invasion of Britain (Nevell and Redhead 1999). A Ringwork in Castlehill Wood (NHLE 1011431), also known as Mouselow Castle Motte, is located c.1.4km to the north-east of the PDA and was probably a Celtic fort, reused during the Roman occupation (Cox 1905). Within the 1km study area, the Derbyshire HER has documented a several Iron Age/early Romano-British Celtic stone heads, one which was unearthed at Melandra and is referred to as the ‘horned god of the Brigantes’ (HER 6159). The Romano-British period provides the most substantial evidence of prehistoric remains within the Glossop and Dinting area. The Scheduled Monument of Melandra Castle (also known as Ardotalia), is located c.640m to the north-west of the PDA. An earth-wood fort of Agricolan (late 1st century AD) date at least partly rebuilt in stone under Trajan (early 2nd century AD), excavations indicate that the fort and vicus housed a substantial cohort and civilian population, remarkable for a fort that did not occupy a key position in the overall strategy of the Northern Military Zone (Webster 1969, 98). Excavations and artefactual evidence reveal that the site was demolished and abandoned during the first half of the 2nd century, probably c. AD 140, when the garrison was required elsewhere (Stephenson 2006). A number of artefacts associated with Melandra have been found within the wider 1km study area, including a cremation cemetery (HER 6170), a stone coffin and Roman coin (HER 6103), and a Roman coin hoard (HER 6114). The conjectural routes of four Roman Roads also pass through the 1km study area, with the postulated Brough to Melandra road (HER 99040) running through the woodland c.27m from the south-western boundary of the PDA.

Whilst physical evidence for activity dating to the period following the Roman withdrawal is scarce, with no early medieval sites recorded by the Derbyshire HER or NRHE within 1km of the PDA, place-names within this area attests to early-medieval occupation across the county. The area of Glossop and Dinting stood in the northern part of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia, on the border of Northumbria. The name Glossop is thought to derive from Glosop, an Old English personal name which translates as ‘Glott’s valley’ Cameron (1959, 103). However, the place-name Dinting, or Dentinc, is thought to have a pre-English derivation, with the first element of this possibly a personal name of Celtic origin (Cameron 1959; Brotherton 2003). At the time of the Norman Conquest of 1066, Glossop and Dinting were two of twelve hamlets within the area of Longdendale that were split between seven Anglo-Saxon proprietors, which together totalled six carucates of land to the geld. The Domesday Book notes that Lyfing owned 4 bovates of land in Old Glossop and Leofnoth had 2 bovates of land in Higher and Lower Dinting (Williams and Martin 1992, 743). By 1086, these lands were granted to William Peveril, son of William the Conqueror, with the hamlets now being a part of the Manor of Glossopdale. In 1157, ownership of the Manor was passed to the Abbots of Basingwerke in Flintshire, who retailed these lordship rights until the late 15th century (OGCA 2006, 4). Whilst under their holdings, Glossop was granted the right to both a market and an annual fair by the late 13th century. However, Glossop, Dinting and the other hamlets of the Manor remained relatively small during the medieval period. In 1535, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Henry VIII gave ‘the manor, rectorial tithes and advowson of the vicarage [of Glossop] to the Talbot family, where it was passed in the 16th century through marriage to the Howard family, who remained Lords of the Manor until the early 20th century (OGCA 2006, 5).

4.1.2 Post-Medieval – Modern Periods From the 16th-18th centuries, the textile cottage industry underwent a national expansion, with the population of Glossop increasing markedly as its reputation as a textile town spread (OGCA 2016, 5). However, it was not until 1774, when Sir Richard Arkwright opened the cotton mill at Cromford which instigated the water-powered factory system of production that Glossop truly began to expand. This expansion can be seen on early county maps of Derbyshire, with Burdett’s 1767 Survey of Derbyshire and Greenwood’s 1825 Map of the County of Derby showing the substantial increase in roads, structure and industrial sites centred on or adjacent water courses. By 1788, there were over 200 Arkwright-type mills in Britain, with 17 textile mills recorded in Derbyshire, principally in Glossop. By 1831, this had increased to at least 30 mills in Glossopdale (Birch 1959). One such mill constructed during this period was a spinning and carding mill in Dinting Vale. Built by Joseph Lyne of Simmondley Hall in 1817, Lyne was unable to let the mill after construction, and it stood empty for a number of years, becoming known locally as ‘The Boggart Mill’, as it was thought to be haunted (Hurst 1947, 20). In the hopes to let the mill property, an advertisement was run in The Manchester Guardian between 1st November 1823 and 7th February 1824 which stated the following:

An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment at Dinting Vale Business Park, Glossop, Derbyshire

‘To Cotton Spinners & Manufacturers ‘To be let, for a term of Years, and may be entered upon immediately, a valuable and newly erected Cotton Factory, in Dinting, in the parish of Glossop, and country of Derby, 37 yards long by 13 yards wide, and 5 stories high, exclusive of the attics; together with an addition of 15 yards by 8 yards, and also 5 stories high; with an excellent water wheel and millwright work of the best construction. The above Factory is eligibly situated in a populous neighbourhood about twelve miles from Manchester, on the turnpike road leading to Sheffield; and has a fall of twenty feet or thereabouts, where two very considerable streams of water and several smaller brooks unite together; the whole concern being particularly well calculated either for the purpose of spinning cotton or for weaving with power looms. Further particulars may be known on application to Mr. Robert Thornley, Vale House, near Mottram in Longdendale, Mr. Moses Hadfield, Simondley Hall, the proprietor, or to Messrs. Duckworth and Denison, Solicitors, Princess Street, Manchester.’ There are no available maps or plans that show, in detail, the original layout and location of ‘The Boggart Mill.’ However, a drawing was made in 1947 based on the description provided in The Manchester Guardian advertisement, which illustrates what the mill and surrounding landscape may have looked like at this time (Figure 2). In 1825, Edmund Potter, in partnership with his cousin Charles Potter (the son of a calico printer in Darwen, Lancashire), established Dinting Vale Print Works on the site of ‘The Boggart Mill.’ The Potters altered the mill building to be better suited to calico printing, as early calico printing was carried out using hand block printing and machine printing and many prints were the productions which entailed a combination of both methods (Hurst 1947, 23). The calico printing at Dinting Vale took off slowly, due in large part to the substantial government print duty imposed in 1826, placed on almost every article used to produce the cloth, including glass, soap, cotton and madder, amongst other items (Hurst 1947, 28). These government taxes nearly bankrupt the Dinting Vale Print Works, with Charles Potter leaving the Print Works to return to Darwen. Edmund Potter maintained the Dinting Vale premises and when the tax on prints was eventually repealed in 1831, he was able to repay all debts that had arisen from the tax within five years. From 1836 onwards, the Dinting Vale Print Works grew and prospered, with the premises slowly shifting from using the older hand-block printing tables to the newer steam-powered rollers. In 1840, Edmund Potter & Co is recorded as having 4 printing machines and 117 hand block printing tables, whereas in 1846, this shifts to 12 printing machines and 20 hand block printing tables (Hurst 1947, 42). This shift required the expansion of the Dinting Vale Print Works, as the new steam-powered rollers not only worked in a linear process, but also were very heavy machines (Hargreaves 2017). By 1851, the Dinting Vale Print Works had completely phased out the old hand block printing machines, with a number of the new steam-powered rollers installed in their place. With the business established and expanding, Edmund Potter constructed Dinting Lodge, c.180m to the north of the PDA and was able to move his family here from Manchester in 1842. The areas of Glossop and Dinting were also rapidly expanding at this time, with the railway being brought into the area in the mid-19th century. This arrival of the railway

An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment at Dinting Vale Business Park, Glossop, Derbyshire

included the construction of the Dinting Railway Viaduct (HER 6117) c.160m to the east of the PDA. The Glossop Poor Law Map of 1857 does not depict any structures within the area of the PDA at this time, though a narrow mill pond is shown within the area of the present-day car park (see section 5 below). In 1861, Edmund Potter became the Liberal M.P. for Carlisle and moved to Hertfordshire, leaving his son, Edmund Crompton, in charge of the print works business. The first available image of the Dinting Vale Print Works is a photograph dated to 1865-7, which shows the premises after a number of expansions to the south-east along the main road to Glossop (Figure 3). The area of the PDA is first depicted in this image and is shown as being the site of three, single-storey parallel sheds of 6 bays, with the aforementioned narrow millpond to the south. A number of millponds and a reservoir can be seen in the foreground of the photograph, whilst three chimneys are depicted to the rear of the Print Works. The first map to depict the Dinting Vale Print Works is the 1880 Ordnance Survey (OS) (Appendix 6). This map depicts the area of the PDA as being the location of one large building; however, when comparing it to the earlier photograph, it is likely that the footprint depicted is formed by a number of smaller, abutting structures. Two of the three parallel structures shown on the 1865-7 photograph have expanded to the south-east, while the third structure appears to remain untouched. A small outbuilding is shown abutting the south-western elevation of the untouched structure, whilst a free-standing wall is shown within the southern part of the PDA, the curvature of which mimics the southern boundary wall. Edmund Crompton Potter died in 1883, with Edmund Potter passing away several months after. The firm remained in the hands of the Potter family until 1891, when it became a part of the Calico Printers’ Association. Though the business was no longer in the hands of the Potter family, in later years, the Dinting Vale Print Works would supply Beatrix Potter, the granddaughter of Edmund Potter, with fabric samples which were used at the materials for binding deluxe editions of her later works (Cooper 1997, 15). The 1885 Dinting Vale and Dinting Mill Lease (Figure 4) and the 1889 OS (Appendix 6) depicts the footprint of the structures within the PDA as largely identical to that shown on the 1880 OS map, though a second small outbuilding is now depicted on the south-western façade of the untouched structure. A photograph of Dinting Vale Lodge and Print Works from 1913 (Figure 5) better visualises the changes the site underwent between 1865 and 1913. The two adjacent structures which are shown as having been expanded on the 1880 OS map have indeed gone from 6 bays to 11 bays. The 1921 OS map (Appendix 6) indicates that a small structure has been built along the south-eastern gable of the furthest structure, though this structure is not shown on the 1913 photograph, though this may be due to the angle with which the photograph was taken. Another photograph from 1953 shows that minimal changes have occurred within the PDA between 1921 and 1953, with the only visible change being the erection of a large metal fence around the area of the narrow millpond (Figure 6).

In 1966, the Calico Printers’ Association Ltd closed the Dinting Vale Print Works, with the 350 employees at the time being offered employment within other CPA works (The Manchester Guardian 1966, 18). Around this time, Dinting Lodge was also demolished. By the 1971 and 1974 OS maps, the PDA has undergone a significant amount of change (Appendix 6). The structures within the north-eastern part of the site have been demolished and a second small outbuilding has been added to small structure that was added by the 1921 OS map. The narrow millpond within the PDA is also no longer depicted, suggesting it has been in-filled. Sometime between 1971 and 1974, the mill chimneys were demolished by ‘Blaster’ Bates, who was well known for singlehandedly demolishing more than 500 chimney stacks over the course of his career as a high-stack chimney demolition expert (McIntyre 2006). Whilst no evidence of these chimney foundations are visible within the woodland to the south-west and west of the site today, the remains of at least one of the main flues still survives, albeit in very poor condition (Figures 7 and 8). Demolition continued both within the PDA and across the entire former Dinting Vale Print Works site, with OS maps from the 1990’s indicating that the entire north-western part of the PDA was devoid of any upstanding structures by 1994 (Appendix 6). Google Earth imagery indicates that by 2000, two structures closes the roads have been demolished, with the ground surface showing potential evidence of fire damage. All that remains of these two structures is an outer wall and gable. Presently within the PDA, there is one upstanding structure, which is described in detail in section 5 below. 4.2 Designated Heritage Assets On-Site The NHLE records no designated heritage assets as being located within the boundary of the PDA. Off-Site The NHLE records three designated heritage assets as being located within the wider 1km study area. These assets consists of one Scheduled Monument, located c.640m to the north- west of the PDA, and two Grade II Listed Buildings, located to the east of the PDA. Further details of these assets are listed below in Table 1, can be found in the gazetteers in Appendix 2 and 3 and are depicted on Figure 9.

4.3.1 Archaeological Remains

An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment at Dinting Vale Business Park, Glossop, Derbyshire

On-Site The Derbyshire HER and NRHE record no non-designated archaeological remains as being located within the boundary of the PDA. Off-Site The Derbyshire HER and NRHE records 18 non-designated archaeological remains within the wider 1km study area. Details of these remains can be found in the gazetteer in in Appendix 2 and are depicted in brown on Figure 9.

4.3.2 Historic Structures On-Site The Derbyshire HER and NRHE record one non-designated historic structure within the boundary of the PDA. The former Dinting Vale Print Works (HER 6143) were a calico-printing works established in 1825 by Edmund Potter, parts of which survive today. Further details of this structure can be found in the gazetteer in Appendix 3, and is depicted in blue on Figure 9. Off-Site The Derbyshire HER and NRHE record a further 11 non-designated historic structures within the wider 1km study area. These are listed in the gazetteer in Appendix 3 and are depicted in blue on Figure 9. 4.4 Archaeological Investigations On-Site The Derbyshire HER and NRHE record no archaeological investigations as having taken place within the boundary of the PDA. Off-Site The Derbyshire Her and NRHE records 18 archaeological investigations as having taken place within the 1km study area. The majority of these archaeological works have taken place at the site of Melandra Castle Roman Fort, c.860m to the north-west of the PDA. A further four archaeological investigations have been carried out by ARS Ltd within the wider 1km study area which are not recorded by the HER or NRHE. Details of all these investigations can be found in the gazetteer in Appendix 2 and are illustrated in green on Figure 10. 4.5 Historic Landscape Characterisation On-Site The boundary of the PDA falls largely within the ‘Pre-1880s Industrial Complex’ HLC primary type, though areas of the PDA also fall within two other HLC types. Details of these HLC units are depicted below in Table 2, are listed in further detail in the gazetteer in Appendix 4 and are depicted on Figure 11.

5 SITE WALKOVER A site walkover was undertaken in overcast conditions in 13th June 2018. The aims of the walkover survey were to provide an up to date account of the site conditions within the PDA, including the documentation of any upstanding archaeological remains identified within the site. A map has been created depicting key viewpoints photographed during the assessment (Figure 12). The site is presently bounded to the north-west by other structures that make up the present Dinting Vale Business Park, to the south-west by woodland, and to the south-east by the Woodend House property. The site is accessed from the A57, which forms the north- eastern boundary of the site. This north-eastern boundary is largely formed of the truncated remains (outer wall) of a former structure associated with the Dinting Vale Print Works, which were demolished by the late 20th century, partially backed by a green metal fence. The former window openings of one of these structures, which have been filled-in, are visible along this length of wall. The site photos from the heritage statement indicate that there have been some recent changes to this boundary, including the removal of the majority of the green metal fencing that once backed this wall, and the removal of at least one course of stones from part of this wall (Townscape 2017, 6). The remainder of the north-western boundary is formed of a low-stone wall, which is backed by a black metal fence (Figures 13 - 15). The south-western boundary of the site is formed in part by a brick wall, of at least 26 courses in height, with several areas showing clear signs of demolition and repair. This wall may be the remains of a structure which first appears on the 1971 OS map, though this cannot be determined with any certainty. The remainder of this border is composed of a number of mesh Gabion baskets which function as a retaining wall between the site and the sloped woodland beyond. The north-western boundary of the PDA is composed of several courses of concrete breeze-blocks, backed by metal Harris fencing (Figures 16 - 18). The south-eastern part of the site is formed of a car park, which is bounded on two sides by the aforementioned low-stone wall, backed by a metal fence. Part of the car park boundary is also formed by one of the structures of the Woodend House property. The car park is composed of a mixture of gravel and hardcore, with a set of removable metal railings running NE-SW through the western part of the car park. This car park was once the location of a narrow millpond, associated with the Dinting Vale Print Works, which appears

An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment at Dinting Vale Business Park, Glossop, Derbyshire

to have been filled in by the mid-20th century. It is likely that the low stone wall surrounding the car park on two sides bounded this millpond (Figures 19 - 20). Just beyond the main entrance and car park entrance, the ground level slopes up slightly towards a set of metal gates, which provides access to the remainder of the site. The majority of the site appears to be covered by a concrete pad, which is covered in parts by large swaths of gravel. This concrete appears to follow the footprint of the former structures within the site, suggesting that the former buildings, when demolished, were only taken down to ground level. The heritage statement photographs indicate that a green metal fence once ran around part of this concrete pad, but has since been removed (Townscape 2017, 8-9; Figures 21 - 22). There is one upstanding building within the site, which is a single storey workshop with a regular slate pitch roof. The south-east gable and south-west elevation are composed largely of gritstone arranged in a regular square coursing. A small breeze-block structure is attached to the south-east gable, which first appeared on the 1921 OS map. The north-west gable has been completely rebuilt of concrete breeze-blocks, and it would appear as though the north-east elevation has also been partially rebuilt of concrete breeze-block, though this has been faced in areas with gritstone (Figures 23 - 24). Historic mapping and photographs indicate that this structure was one of three former structures within this part of the PDA. Past demolition works have truncated this structure along both its north-western and north- eastern extents, leaving the only original fabric along the south-east and south-western extents. Attached to the north-eastern elevation are the remains of an outer wall and south-east gable of one of the former workshops within the site. These remains are also composed of gritstone arranged in regular square coursing, and once contained at least four windows, which have since been filled-in, two doors which have also been filled in, and one larger car entrance, which has been built partially into the location of a former window and is also filled-in. The exterior of the outer wall and gable show some signs of fire damage, which is also present on the Google Earth Aerial from 2000 and also noted in the NRHE listing (Figures 25 - 27). A large green shipping container is located adjacent the upstanding structure, while in the south-western corner of the site, a raised concrete platform has been constructed, with an associated concrete path leading to the north gable entrance to the upstanding structure within the site. This concrete pad is used for cleaning of machines/vehicles within the site (Figures 29 - 30). Across the site, there are several areas of worked stone, likely remains of previous structures and walls on the site. Adjacent the south-east gable and the outer wall of the now demolished warehouse, foundations are visible within the ground surface of the site, likely representing the structure which first appeared on the 1974 OS map (Figures 31 – 32). With the exception of the upstanding partial outer and gable wall and several of the boundaries that encircle the site, no new upstanding features of archaeological interest have been identified within the boundaries of the PDA.

6 ASSESSMENT OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF AFFECTED HERITAGE ASSETS The Derbyshire HER and NRHE record the entire area of the PDA as being part of the larger site of the Dinting Vale Print Works (HER 6143). The majority of the structures within the site were largely demolished by 2000. However, depending on the level of site clearance the PDA underwent, there is the low-medium potential that foundations and cellars of these structures, in addition to a possible sluice associated within the former narrow millpond, may survive beneath present ground level. Should such remains be present, they would be of both local and regional significance, due to the evidential, illustrative historical and architectural values that they could possess. Presently within the PDA, one upstanding structure, one partial outer wall and gable, and the boundary wall adjacent the A57 and the low stone wall on two sides of the car park represent the only surviving above-ground remains of the Dinting Vale Print Works within the PDA. The significance of these assets largely derives from their illustrative historical value and to a lesser extent their design value, resulting in these assets possessing some architectural interest. The low-stone wall around the car park was constructed by 1857, with the upstanding structure and part of the north-eastern boundary wall being built by 1865, The outer wall and gable and part of the boundary wall were later additions, constructed by 1880. The remains also possess a degree of evidential value, due to the identified historic fabric that composes these remains. The upstanding Print Work remains also derive significance in part from its associative historical value that they possess, due to their relationship with the Potter family. As discussed above, Edmund Potter was not only a pioneer of calico printing, but the calico prints of the factory were also used to bind editions of his granddaughter’s (Beatrix Potter) books.

7 ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS Potential direct physical impacts to heritage assets during the construction phase include the following:

 Removal or truncation of heritage assets during ground works, site clearance and construction (e.g. demolition of stone wall façade, removal of concrete pad, erection of fencing, traffic movement).

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

 Other groundworks associated with the construction of two new structures, such as foundation and service trenches, which have the potential to damage or destroy below-ground features or deposits of cultural heritage value, should they be present. The proposed redevelopment of the PDA includes the demolition of the aforementioned outer wall and gable, and the removal of a large extent of the north-eastern boundary wall, all of which represent the truncated remains of a pair of 19th century structures associated within the Dinting Vale Print Works. The proposed demolition plan also includes the removal of much of the low-stone boundary walls which once demarcated the area of the narrow

An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment at Dinting Vale Business Park, Glossop, Derbyshire

millpond. The removal of these features will have a moderate adverse impact upon the evidential, illustrative historical and design values of the site, as they represent some of the last remaining features The proposed plans also indicate that the concrete breeze-block structure adjacent the south-eastern gable is to be demolished, with the remainder of the structure to be retained. The demolition of this structure will have a beneficial impact upon the evidential and illustrative historical values of the site, as this structure currently detracts from the more historic nature of this site, and is in a poor state of repair. The proposed redevelopment of the site also includes the construction of two new structures: one which will be located to the north-east of the existing building, and one which will be constructed adjacent the north-western boundary wall (Figure 33). The construction of these buildings will likely result in the disturbance of buried archaeological remains associated with the Dinting Vale Print Works. The proposed footprints of the new structures includes the location of the 6-bay structures built by 1865, and also the later extensions built by 1880. While the level of demolition across the site is unknown, if the buildings were levelled to the present ground level, it is likely that evidence of the former Print Work buildings would survive below the concrete pad.

8 RECOMMENDATIONS Should planning permission be granted, it is recommended that, a Historic England Level 2 building recording be carried out on the one upstanding structure, partial outer wall and gable, the boundary wall adjacent the A57, and the two stone walls within the present car park, as the proposed plans indicate that the majority of these assets will be demolished or significantly altered. It is also recommended that a phase of targeted trial trenching be carried out within the footprint of the proposed two new structures to assess the survival of any below-ground archaeological remains that may be present. Depending upon the results of the archaeological evaluation, it may be appropriate to carry out archaeological excavation to further record any significant surviving archaeological remains as part of a mitigation strategy prior to commencement of any development works.
