Store Street, Manchester Store Street, Manchester Watching Brief Planning Ref. 126608/FO/2020 Author(s): Joe Turner BA MSc PCIfA Written Scheme of Investigation December 2020 Store Street, Manchester – Archaeological Watching Brief 1. Introduction This Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) has been produced by CFA Archaeology on behalf of H20 Urban (NO.2) LLP to detail a programme of archaeological monitoring to be undertaken at Store Street, Manchester during relevant construction work. The scheme comprises the construction of a high-rise residential development which will utilise a piling method and phased levelling of the site. The archaeological watching brief is required per Condition 7 of the approve planning application (126608/FO/2020): ‘No demolition or development shall take place until the applicant or their agents or successors in title has secured the implementation of a programme of archaeological works. The works are to be undertaken in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) submitted to and approved in writing by Manchester Planning Authority. The WSI shall cover the following: 1. A phased programme and methodology of investigation and recording to include:- an archaeological watching brief 2. A programme for post investigation assessment to include: - production of a final report on the investigation results 3. Deposition of the final report with the Greater Manchester Historic Environment Record. 4. Dissemination of the results of the archaeological investigations commensurate with their significance. 5. Provision for archive deposition of the report and records of the site investigation. 6. Nomination of a competent person or persons/organisation to undertake the works set out within the approved WSI. In accordance with NPPF Section 16, Paragraph 199 - To record and advance understanding of heritage assets impacted on by the development and to make information about the archaeological heritage interest publicly accessible GMAAS will monitor the implementation of the recording on behalf of Manchester City Council’. This WSI provides the detailed method statement for an archaeological watching brief, and; should archaeological remains be encountered. The watching brief will be maintained primarily during the levelling of the site. Levelling on the site will be undertaken in a phased programme which comprises initial levelling/infilling required to produce a level surface for high level piling; this will then be followed by reduction in ground level for mid-level piling and subsequently lower level piling following further ground reduction. Full details of the construction scheme will be provided within the site contractors method statement prior to STOR2/WSI 1 CFA commencement of on-site works. It is not considered necessary for archaeological monitoring to be undertaken during the piling works. 2. Site Location and Description The site is located on the south side of Store Street, which is on the east side of Manchester City Centre, centred on National Grid Reference SJ 85064 98128 (Fig.1). The proposed development site is comprised of a roughly triangular plot of land, bounded by Store Street on its north-west and Ashton Canal on its south west. The north-east side of the site is bounded by a large stone wall, beyond which is Millbank Street, leading from Store Street, and residential development along the Ashton Canal tow path. To the west of the site is the Store Street Aqueduct which carries the Ashton Canal across Store Street and is a Grade II* listed building (1270666). The bedrock geology across the proposed development area site comprises Chester Formation (sandstone), a sedimentary bedrock formed approximately 247 to 250 million years ago in the Triassic Period, in a local environment previously dominated by rivers. Also recorded are superficial deposits of Till, Devensian (Diamicton), deposits formed up to 2 million years ago in the Quaternary Period in a local environment previously dominated by ice age conditions (BGS 2020). 3. Archaeological and Historic Background The following derives from the archaeological desk-based assessment (CFA Archaeology 2020): The Ashton Canal built at the end of the 18th century forms the south-west boundary of the proposed development site. Work on the canal began in late 1792, constructed in a traditional narrow lock style, and stone line, mostly with gritstone, quarried locally around the Ashton and Stalybridge areas. Most of the construction had been completed by 1795, with some traffic moving along parts of the canal by this time although later improvements and additional construction were made after this date, including the locks around Ducie Street and the Store Street Aqueduct (1270666) which is located immediately to the west of the proposed development site. Expansion of the canal continued into the mid-19th century (Keaveney & Brown 1974, 4-8). The Store Street Aqueduct (1270666) is a Grade II* listed building, construction of which began in 1794, and was completed in 1799. The aqueduct crosses Store Street at an angle of 41 degrees, although when built it carried the Ashton Canal across the Shooters Brook valley as Store Street was yet to be laid out. The aqueduct is constructed with ashlar stone with angled piers in a style of early pack horse bridges, and measures approximately 70m in length. It is thought to be one of the earliest surviving examples of a canal aqueduct with a skewed arch. When Store Street was later constructed, the Shooters Brook was diverted beneath the road (Historic England 2020; McNeil & Nevell 2000). Store Street appears to have been planned by the early 19th century and canal wharfs were constructed to the east of the site by the mid-19th century. In the late 19th century and into the 20th century the proposed development site was occupied by several light industries and warehouses, and the demolished remains of these buildings are likely still present within the site, although no basements are recorded on the Goad Insurance plans. STOR2/WSI 2 CFA Prior to the construction of Store Street, Shooters Brook appears to have run through the proposed development site, as identified on the 1807 Roper map. It is possible therefore that palaeochannel remains of Shooters Brook may be located within the proposed development site and may be exposed during development. 4. Project Aims The desk-based assessment identified that there is potential to identify archaeological features relating the construction of the Grade II* listed Store Street Aqueduct (1270666); former demolished buildings and possibly the remains of the former Shooters Brook, depending on the depths of site levelling. The general aim of the watching brief is to determine the location, extent, date, character, condition, significance and quality of any archaeological remains liable to be threatened by the development, should they exist on the site. 5. Archaeological Methods Watching Brief CFA Archaeology is a registered organisation with the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA). Work will be conducted with regard to the Institute’s Standards documents (CIfA 2014a-c), relevant Historic England guidance documents and this WSI. Recording of all elements will be done following established CFA procedures. The details of the proposed groundworks and levelling will be outlined within the contractor’s method statement prior to the commencement of construction works. It is anticipated that archaeological monitoring will only be required during phases of ground reduction. The site levelling will be monitored by a qualified archaeologist to the top of any archaeological features or deposits or to any required reduced levels in order to best facilitate the recording of any possible surviving features. Any other groundwork associated with the development will be monitored by a qualified archaeologist. Any further excavation required to fulfil the objectives of the watching brief will be carried out by hand. Samples of all features of archaeological interest will be excavated in order to establish their likely date, nature, extent and condition. All such sample excavation will be conducted by hand. All excavation and on-site recording will be carried out according to standard CFA procedures, principally by drawing, by photography and by completing standard CFA record forms. The stratification will be recorded even if no deposits of archaeological significance are discovered. The location of the ground works will be recorded using industry standard surveying equipment and tied to the National Grid. Vertical survey control will be tied to the Ordnance Survey Datum. Sections will be recorded by means of a measured drawing at an appropriate scale. Sections will normally be drawn at 1:10. The height of a datum on the drawing will be calculated and recorded. The locations of sections will be recorded on the site plans, relative to the site grid. STOR2/WSI 3 CFA Cut features will be recorded in profile, planned at an appropriate scale and their location accurately identified on the appropriate plan. Photographs will include an appropriate scale and where necessary a north arrow. All photographs will be recorded on a photographic register detailing subject, location and direction of shot. Any human remains encountered will be reported to the appropriate authorities and left in situ. If removal is necessary this will comply with the relevant Government, licence, regulations and guidance. All artefacts, including faunal remains, will be retained for analysis.

    WW GUIDE THE PEAK FOREST AND ASHTON CANALS You begin in urban Manchester – and 21 miles later, you’re in a historic basin in the glorious Peak District, moored up beside a real pub. Richard Fairhurst savours a fine canal journey The Ashton Canal FOR MANY YEARS, THE ASHTON CANAL was synonymous with all that was wrong with urban waterways. The 1896 Oarsman’s Guide was uncompromising: “Its course is entirely through a manufacturing district with the usual unpleasant surroundings. The vapour rising from its waters caused by the factories on the banks, condensing their exhaust Bugsworth steam therein, is sometimes so thick as Basin. to make it diffi cult to see one’s way.” Downloaded by David A Calverley from waterwaysworld.com June 2012 Waterways World 71 WW GUIDE 1 1 Ancoats Lock 1 – By the 1960s, its star had sunk lower note the duplicated still. Though never formally closed, it was chamber. totally unnavigable: its channel dry, its lock-gates rotten or swinging loose. Local councillors and anxious parents demanded its infi lling. Its branches to Stockport and Hollinwood were abandoned, and the main line, like so many industrial urban waterways, looked set to go the same way. What saved it was an idea fi rst hatched in 1965: the Cheshire Ring. Adventurous holidaymakers were beginning to discover the canal system, and circular routes were perfect for a week’s holiday. The Ashton and adjacent canals would provide the ‘missing link’ in one such route. Volunteers from the Peak Forest Canal Society, the Inland Waterways Association, and (latterly) the new Waterway Recovery 2 Group set about bringing the canal back to life.

  • Manchester Urban Historic Landscape Characterisation Section 7
    7 Manchester’s Historic Character – Analysis and Recommendations 7.1 Unenclosed land broad type Figure 4 The area of the former Shadow Moss is indicated by the distinctive field boundary patterns depicted on OS 6” 1 st edition mapping of c1882 Description This character type comprises areas that are currently of low economic value and where there is little or no settlement. It includes marginal land such as open mossland and marsh, and other unimproved land which may nonetheless be exploited, such as common land, pasture and moorland. Unenclosed land only occurs in Manchester district as a previous type. 7.1.1 Open moorland Description and historical context Moorland does not exist as a current type within the Manchester landscape; it appears as a previous type only in the Baguley Moor area. Some areas of the former moorland have not been developed and although their character has changed, they may still contain palaeoenvironmental and archaeological evidence. 27 For example, the playing fields associated with Brookway High School (HLC Ref HGM13548) and the playing fields east of Church Stoke Walk (HLC Ref HGM13842) have both been enclosed from farmland that was formerly moorland. 7.1.2 Mossland Description and historical context Although there is no surviving untouched mossland in Manchester, there were several mosses in the district in the past. Mossland has thus been recorded as a previous rather than a current character type. Like the upland moors, the former lowland mosses were probably enclosed at a relatively late date. The three main former mosses in Manchester are Hough Moss in the area which is now Moss Side and Whalley Range; Shadow Moss, near Moss Nook and Manchester Airport in the south of the district; and White Moss, near Charlestown in the northern part of the district.

  • Greater Manchester Canals Heritage Partnership Agreement
    GREATER MANCHESTER CANALS HERITAGE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT Revised 2014 21.5.14 1 Review- 21/05/2014 Greater Manchester Canals Heritage Partnership Agreement EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Greater Manchester Canals Heritage Partnership Agreement (HPA) is intended to improve the management of heritage assets upon the various Canal & River Trust (CRT) canals situated within the Greater Manchester area. It is intended that the HPA, which brings together the principles of existing CRT heritage guidance and processes will provide reassurance for local planning authorities (LPA’s) and stakeholders that works of repair are completed to a high conservation standard. The canals within Greater Manchester are a multi-designated historic environment that contains high value heritage assets. These assets include archaeological remains, working heritage, listed buildings and conservation areas and are subject to ongoing development and maintenance. The HPA is designed to reduce bureaucracy, save time on consent procedures and embed effective heritage management within the corporate culture of CRT by increasing both accountability and self-regulation. The HPA is based around a traffic light system of agreed works that are categorised in terms of requiring consent (red) or clearance (amber) or are permitted works (green). The partners of the Greater Manchester Canals HPA are: Canal & River Trust (the main landowner), English Heritage, Bolton Council, Bury Metropolitan Borough Council, Manchester City Council, Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council, Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council, Salford City Council, Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, Wigan Council and the Greater Manchester Archaeological Advisory Service (GMAAS). The HPA will run for a period of five years and shall be subject to annual monitoring and review by the partners, with the potential for further extension at the discretion of the partners.

We’re the charity who look after and bring to life 2000 miles of canals & rivers. Our waterways contribute to the health and wellbeing of local communities and economies, creating attractive and connected places to live, work, volunteer and spend leisure time. These historic, natural and cultural assets form part of the strategic and local green-blue infrastructure network, linking urban and rural communities as well as habitats. Our waterways are on the doorstep of 8 million people and reach some of the most deprived communities within the UK. By caring for our waterways and promoting their use we believe we can improve the wellbeing of our nation. The Trust’s work is focussed on making life better by water. The key objective therefore for the Trust, in responding to the consultation, is to protect our assets and interests and to ensure that as the proposal develops the impacts of the scheme on our inland waterways network or affecting third party restoration projects are appropriately mitigated. The Trust has a range of charitable objects: o to preserve, protect, operate and manage Inland Waterways for public benefit: o for navigation; o for walking on towpaths; and o for recreation or other leisure-time pursuits of the public in the interest of their health and social welfare; o to protect and conserve for public
