Our unique location and history enables us to provide the leading specialist service for industrial archaeology, brownfield sites, urban archaeology and building recording. With extensive experience in the complex archaeology of the more recent periods (from the 1500s onwards), a fascinating period of human endeavour and innovation which is still continuing.
Some of our more recent projects are highlighted below.
A forge in operation since the sixteenth century. Large-scale redevelopment of the entire site required extensive evaluation.
The world's first Iron Bridge was recorded in detail for the first time, providing new information about its fabrication and erection.
A manorial corn mill since the middle ages, an excavation in advance of development found one of the two water wheels and evidence for button making.
This was largest ironworks in the world during the 1850s and 1860s, its secrets revealed during large scale excavation and watching brief on redevelopment.
A forge in the 18th century, expanded until the late 1700s before being removed by landscape gardening and replaced by an icehouse.
A largely culverted water power system with origins in the middle ages has been surveyed in detail as part of a long-term programme of restoration.
