A combination of techniques has been employed over an eight-year period by Oxford Archaeology in order to explore the geoarchaeology and archaeology within two landscape areas, at Paull, East Yorkshire, and Goxhill, North Lincolnshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeoarchaeological investigations at both Paull and Goxhill included borehole coring, lithological, pollen, and diatom analyses, deposit modelling, and radiocarbon dating, the results of which provide details of the evolving early prehistoric coastal landscape that was present in the Mesolithic and earlier Neolithic periods. All of the archaeological remains investigated by the project were confined to Goxhill, and evaluation trenching, open-area excavation, and archaeological monitoring, together with detailed post-excavation analysis, have greatly enhanced understanding of prehistoric and historic settlement in this area. Within this landscape, limited evidence for Bronze Age and post-medieval activity was recovered, with the vast majority of the excavated remains dating to the Iron Age, Roman, and medieval periods, relating to progressive phases of open and enclosed settlement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis synthetic volume arises from a multi-disciplinary approach to geoarchaeology and archaeology, with an emphasis on interpreting the evidence in terms of landscape development.

Other important discoveries included Neolithic and earlier Bronze Age timber structures, and well-preserved elements of a later Bronze Age ‘village’, which contained domestic roundhouses, ancillary buildings, and workshops engaged in the casting of bronze and lead objects. Evidence relating to an unenclosed Iron Age settlement was also identified, as well as two important Iron Age burials, one of which contained an Iron Age ‘warrior’ who had been graphically killed during an act of interpersonal violence.

However, in other ways the history of Piccadilly Place is unique, particularly as the site was to play a significant part in the emergence of the industrial city.

At the centre of the estate lies the large stately home of Dunham Hall. This was built in the early eighteenth century by Sir George Booth, the second Earl of Warrington, and was modified and restored in the early twentieth century by William Grey, the ninth Earl of Stamford. The hall is surrounded by an extensive medieval deer park, which was replanted and redesigned in the eighteenth century to form a spectacular formal landscape.

Its success was a direct result of the Industrial Revolution, which resulted in the region blossoming into a leading economic force between the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. This was, important, essential to Britain’s place and dominance as the world’s first industrial nation. During this period, Lancashire’s textile industry was at the forefront of innovation, adopting both steal power and the factory-based system of production, which in turn greatly shaped the historic character of the region, and left an enduring legacy. Whilst this legacy is still deeply ingrained in Lancashire’s consciousness, its most graphic reflection lies in the textile mills, which were established across the historic county, man of which were directly responsible for the formation of the distinctive urban landscapes associated with the region’s mill towns. However, since the demise of the textile industry in the second half of the twentieth century, the loss of historic mills, through demolition, decay and fire, has been a cause of increasing concern amongst those who recognise their heritage value, and their importance in providing and enduring sense of place for the residents of the mill towns. This threat has been felt perhaps most keenly in Lancashire, a county in which history and identity were bound closely to the development of the industry, and this danger has prompted a recognition of the need for urgent action. This publication represents the culmination of a decade of research on the textile mills of Lancashire by Oxford Archaeology North, born out of two phases of survey funded by Historic England designed to assess the survival of, and threats to, modern Lancashire’s historic textile mills. It highlights the historic growth of the region’s textile industry, and also the architectural form and evolution of Lancashire’s textile mills and ancillary industries, such as bleaching, dyeing, and printing. Importantly, it also aims to show that such buildings can be readily adapted to modern use as viable spaces, which, significantly, allows each settlement actively to retain its ‘sense of place’.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490217468277,"sku":"9781907686245","price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"architecture-burial-and-reform-the-upper-brook-street-unitarian-chapel-manchester","title":"Architecture, Burial and Reform: The Upper Brook Street Unitarian Chapel, Manchester","description":"The Upper Brook Street Unitarian Chapel was building in 1837-9, to the designs of two of the nineteenth-century's most esteemed architects, Sir Charles Barry and AWN Pugin.
