Aberdeen334973 1 Aberdeen335013 1 aberdeen3-34973_1 Summary In August 2007, Mr Harry McNab of Bancon Developments Ltd, commissioned Alison Cameron of Aberdeen City Council Archaeology Unit to conduct an archaeological evaluation on the site of a proposed development at Stoneywood Terrace, Aberdeen. No archaeological features were discovered during the evaluation; however, it was not possible to evaluate the western edge of site (the area of greatest archaeological potential) due to the presence of a grove of mature beech trees. This report recommends that the clients notify Aberdeen City Council Archaeology Unit prior to any future groundworks within this area, to allow an evaluation trench to be dug (if appropriate) to determine the possible location of the Aberdeenshire canal.. 1. Introduction and Background aberdeen3-35013_1 Summary In February 2007, Grampian Developments Ltd commissioned Aberdeen City Council Archaeology Unit to carry out an Archaeological Watching Brief on the site of a proposed development at Caberstone House, 47 Belmont Street, Aberdeen. All groundworks on site were carried out prior to an archaeologist being present in contravention of The town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997(1) and The Specification for Archaeological Watching Brief set out by the Keeper of Archaeology, Aberdeen City Council (February 2007). An archaeologist attended site in a remedial capacity and located no evidence for the existence or survival of any significant archaeological features. 1. Introduction and Background aberdeen3-38233_1 Summary This specification gives an outline of the archaeological value of this site and indicates the works which w be required to ensure that any surviving archaeological deposits are protected and recorded. 1.0 Site Location and Description albionar1-14063_1 Non-Technical Summary Huntingdon DC has granted planning consent (00/01585/OUT) to Bedfordia Developments Ltd for re-development of land at Grove Lane, Ellington, Cambridgeshire, NGR TL164/721. An archaeological condition on the consent requires a programme of works prior to development, to allow an evaluation of the archaeological potential of the site and inform any possible mitigation strategies. The County Planning Archaeologist issued a brief for an evaluation comprising an archaeological desk-based assessment, the re-plotting and analysis of relevant aerial photographs and trial trench excavation. Its aims were to determine the date, character and extent of any archaeological remains within the development area. The evaluation was undertaken by Albion Archaeology on behalf of Bedfordia Developments Ltd. The archaeological desk-based assessment and re-plotting of the aerial photographs and their assessment revealed the development area to be within an historic landscape largely dominated by the evidence of medieval fields and cultivation terraces associated with the medieval village of Ellington 200m to the south. However, they did not demonstrate the presence of archaeological deposits within the development area. A programme of extensive trial trenching failed to identify any significant archaeological deposits. The trial trenches revealed modern features and deposits associated with levelling up of the land to the north of Ellington Brook, dredged material from the brook to the south of Ellington Brook and make-up layers associated with the depot site at the north of the development area. It is possible that the site has been used exclusively for pasture in the past, as it is in the present, due to its susceptibility to flooding. Albion Archaeology albionar1-14063_1 SUMMARY This assessment of aerial photographs examined an area of some 5.45 hectares (centred TL164721) and its environs in order to identify and accurately map archaeological and natural features. No pre-medieval features were identified in the Study Area during examination of aerial photographs. Nothing of archaeological origin was apparent at the SMR sites north of the A14. Low scarps remain from former land division immediately south of the Development Area. These may remain from recent (post-medieval) changes or indicate earlier settlement traces. Ridge and furrow has been recorded in many fields in the Study Area. Much was earthwork-in-pasture in 1945 but has been levelled as fields have been converted to arable use. Two small patches of ridge and furrow were identified in the northern part of the Development Area. Areas of hand-dug quarrying have been identified and mapped and one may account for a site in the SMR. It has been noted that crops on clay soils, as in the Development Area, are poor respondents to sub surface features such as archaeological ditches. Ridge and furrow also has the ability to mask any such features. Thus the air photo evidence may be incomplete for the Ellington area. The Development Area was flooded on photographs taken in 1981. Photo interpretation and mapping was at 1:2500 level in one area only with the remainder being mapped/sketched at 1:10000 level. Report No: 2003/13 56 \0313Elli.doc © Air Photo Services 2003 56 GROVE LANE, ELLINGTON, TL164721, CAMBRIDGESHIRE: AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT albionar1-14198_1 Non-Technical Summary In January 2005 Albion Archaeology undertook an archaeological field evaluation on land north and north-west of Great Barford, Bedfordshire. The work was undertaken on behalf of The Bedfordshire and River Ivel Internal Drainage Board in advance of the groundworks required as part of the construction of a flood attenuation scheme. The scheme comprised three areas FE 1, FE 2 and FE 3 (Figure 2) alongside two water courses. All three areas were evaluated in order to establish the extent and condition of any archaeological remains located within them. The intention was to characterise them and to allow their importance to be assessed. The evaluation has provided the necessary information to allow an appropriate mitigation strategy to be developed. Flood Embankment 1 (FE 1) FE 1 was located approximately 300m west of Green End, Great Barford. It is c.1ha in extent and is centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) TL 1166 5262. It lies at c.40m Above Ordnance Datum (AOD). Flood Embankment 2 (FE 2) FE 2 was located approximately 200m north of Great Barford. It is c.0.9ha in extent and is centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) TL 1267 5304. It lies at c.30 to 40m AOD. Flood Embankment 3 (FE 3) FE 3 was located approximately 100m north of Great Barford. It is c.0.9ha in extent and is centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) TL 1260 5274. It lies at c.30 to 40m AOD. An assessment of the HER and recent archaeological work indicated that archaeological remains exist within relatively close proximity to FE 1, FE 2 and FE 3. As a result, it was considered possible that remains dating to the prehistoric, Roman, and particularly the medieval periods could be encountered within these areas. A total of seven trenches were opened. Archaeological features were revealed in two: a medieval or post-medieval furrow in Trench 5, FE 1 and two pits, two postholes and a ditch terminal dating to the middle Saxon period (c.8th øÂ9th century AD) in Trench 3, FE 3. The previously unknown settlement remains in Trench 3 may be related to several, as yet undated, sub-rectangular enclosures identified on aerial photographs (HER16750). They have the potential to contribute to regional research objectives relating to the pattern and nature of settlement during this period. Albion Archaeology albionar1-14438_1 Non-Technical Summary Albion Archaeology was commissioned by Mouchel Property Services, to undertake an archaeological evaluation of the site of a proposed car park extension on the area immediately to the west of Grey©s House residential school, Manor Drive, Kempston. The site is situated at the western edge of the suburb of Kempston, Bedford, centred on National Grid Reference TL (5/2) 0272 4761. Situated at the edge of the built-up area, on higher ground overlooking a meander in the River Great Ouse, the site is located on gently sloping ground at c.30m above Ordnance Datum. The adjacent area contains evidence of human activity extending from the Mesolithic to the post-medieval period. The site is close to Kempston Manor, which during archaeological investigations in the mid 1990s, revealed evidence of Saxon-Norman structures and boundaries. Archaeological investigations in this area have also revealed evidence of substantial dumps of modern material, which have been used to raise the level of the ground. However, both the extent and thickness of such material is very variable. In response to the pre- application planning enquiry the Assistant County Archaeological Officer advised that the site was in an archeologically sensitive location, and that insufficient information was available to determine the impact of the proposal. In order to address this, a Brief was issued for an archaeological evaluation to determine the location, extent, nature and preservation of any remains, utilising a programme of trial excavation. In response Albion formulated a Project Design, which defined the scope and nature of the project. This was approved by the Assistant County Archaeological Officer, prior to the commencement of work. At the time of the evaluation the area of approximately 440 square metres was under grass. This grass was sub- divided into two areas by a pathway leading to Grey©s House. The larger southern area was defined by a hedge to the west and car park with associated brick garages to the south. The grassed area was undulating, being approximately 0.5m lower than Manor Drive immediately beyond the hedge. The second area of grass was defined by the drive to the west and a car park to the north. Trial excavation of the site was undertaken on 22nd October 2002. In accordance with the approved trenching proposal, a single trench 11.5m long was opened across the southern grassed area. Immediately below the turf and topsoil horizon a cable duct was exposed, which truncated compact dumps of modern building debris.

  • Collegiate Churches, Ten Priories, and Six Nunneries, Whilst the Massive Remains of Fourteen Military Strongholds Are Still More Or Less Evident
    ST.AFFORDSRIR~, Collegiate Churches, ten Priories, and six Nunneries, whilst the massive remains of fourteen military strongholds are still more or less evident. The Benedictines early established themselves at Burton Abbey, in 1002, and at the Priory of Lapley a few years afterwards. 1'hey also had foundations at the Abbey of Calwich, and the Priories ofTutbury, Blythe­ bury, Can well, and Sand well, together with the Nunneries of Farewell and Blackladies. The Augustinian Canons built the Abbeys of Ronton and Roccster, and had besides the Priories of Trentham, Stone, Stafford and St. Thomas at Lichfield. The Cistercian Order boasted of the three Abbeys of Croxden, Abbey Hulton, and Dieu la Cresse and they also . had a monastery at Radmore, in the forest of Cannock. The Cluniac monks never gained a footing in the county, but the remains of Dudley Priory, founded in 1140, just outside the border line still assert their near presence. Of the various orders of Friars, the Grey Friars were repre­ sented at Lichfield and Stafford, the Austin Friars at Stafford only. 1'he Knights Templar had a Preceptory at Keele, and also lands at Stoke. In Parish Churches, however, Staffordshire was not so richly endowed as many other counties, the approximate numbers, at the time of "the Domesday Survey, amounting only to about 28 or 30, though during the later Norman period the number increased at a rapid rate. The following were formerly Collegiate Churches, viz., . ·wol verhampton, Tettenhall, Gnosall, Lichfield, Penkridge, Stafford, &c. Tho mcdimval military remains comprise the Castles of Stafford, Wednesbmy, Chartley, Dudley, Alton, 1'utbury, Eccleshall, Caverswall, Heyleigh, Lichfield, Chesterton, N ~w­ castle, Stourton, and Audley, some of which have absolutely disappeared, whilst others frown formidably even in their ruin.

  • Planning Application Number:P10/0765
    PLANNING APPLICATION NUMBER:P10/0765 Type of approval sought Conservation Area Consent Ward Castle & Priory Applicant Dudley College Location: KUDOS HOUSE, LAND AT CORNER OF PRIORY ROAD & EDNAM ROAD, DUDLEY, WEST MIDLANDS, DY1 1HL Proposal CONSERVATION AREA CONSENT FOR DEMOLITION OF KUDOS HOUSE, FORMER COACH HOUSE, SPORTS HALL AND BOUNDARY WALLS Recommendation REFUSE Summary: SITE AND SURROUNDINGS 1 The application site is 0.4 hectares in size and encompasses a Locally Listed Historic House (constructed in 1864-5 as Priory Villa but more recently re-named Kudos House) along with its extensive grounds which also contain an associated historic Coach House. These elements with their historic boundary walls all fall within the boundary of the Dudley Town Centre Conservation Area. The application site extends beyond this incorporating a part of the Priory Road Car Park and a building housing a former gymnasium at the rear of no. 2 Ednam Road. The gymnasium and boundary treatment along Priory Road (wall, railings and posts) are vestiges of the former use of this part of the site as Dudley Girls Grammar School. Priory Villa itself is in a good condition and is currently being used as council offices (electoral services office). 2 In the context of the current application for demolition the application site itself needs to be understood in the context of the historic evolution of Dudley Town Centre and of the contribution that the historic buildings and their historic layout make to local distinctiveness and the ‘sense of place’ that makes Dudley special when compared to other towns in the Black Country and beyond.

    BASILDON AND BILLERICAY u3a NEWSLETTER No 330 MAY 2021 Covid – 19 edition14 Bluebells in Norsey Woods, Billericay 1 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Alan Wood Hello Everyone The weather seems to be stuck in a cycle of showers, winds and below average temperatures for May, making it difficult to plant out the bedding and vegetables whilst hoping they will not be checked by the cold temperatures. I’ve just realised that it is only four weeks till the longest day and the nights start to draw in – what happened to Spring? Along with all the other problems at the moment, how’s that for a bit of despondency (glass half empty etc.)?! However, on a brighter note, our groups will be able to operate in a normal fashion shortly, although we have no further news from the Canon Roche hall regarding opening before September for the monthly meetings. It may be possible to make alternative arrangements in the meantime. We are sorry to hear that Joyce Clark, our Speakers secretary, will be moving to Suffolk in the near future. Along with her husband Geoff, Joyce has served us well for the past few years in booking and organizing some excellent speakers, including the more recent Zoom meetings. I am sure we all wish them great success in their new venture. SECRETARY’S NEWS – “From under the stairs” Andy Fletcher Nearly there!! I would guess that by the time that this is published, a good number of us will have taken the opportunity to “mingle” with more family and friends than we have been able to for a long time? I’m writing this on 16th May and I must admit that, although I am looking forward to a few more freedoms starting tomorrow, there is still a little bit of caution in my mind about how people will react to being let off the hook.

Additional Consultation/Publicity Responses Anglian Water has confirmed that a foul sewer crosses the site and that they would not permit any building within a 6 metre easement (3m either side of the centre line of the sewer). A plan has been provided by Anglian Water showing the location of the sewer. Comments on the Consultation Response The plan provided by Anglian Water does not represent the location of the sewer pipe on the ground as it is visible where it crosses the watercourse which does not concur with the plan provided. It is considered that the sewer is most likely to run from the manhole cover in the access road across the site to where the pipes are visibly crossing the watercourse.
