Ellesmere Street, Hulme, Manchester

Abstract

The Centre for Applied Archaeology (CfAA) was commissioned by De Trafford Estates Group to undertake an archaeological excavation on the western portion of vacant land encompassed by Bentinck Street to the West, Ellesmere Street to the North and Arundel Street to the East, (centred on SJ 82753 97244 ).
In October 2013 The Centre for Applied Archaeology (CfAA) carried out an archaeological evaluation of the site, which concluded that the site had some buried remains of archaeological interest most likely pertaining to the remains of mid to late 19th century housing, workshops and of Cawdor Street which were present. Following consultation with Norman Redhead of the archaeological planning advisory body for Greater Manchester (GMAAS) it was recommended that the site would require a further scheme of archaeological investigation through open area excavation. This heritage work would need to be scheduled and completed prior to the redevelopment of the site.
