Excavating Engels : the archaeological investigations of workers' housing in Manchester and Salford, 2001 to 2017

Nevell, MD

Abstract

Since 2001, archaeological work ahead of redevelopment within the city of Manchester, and central Salford, has been targeting the excavation of workers’ housing from the 18th and 19th centuries. Over 20 sites have been looked at and the remains of several hundred houses excavated, or more rarely, recorded as standing structures. Some of the worst areas of slum housing in Britain have been studied, such as Angel Meadow, Ancoats, and in Salford the New Islington area.
