Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment of Garden Street and Broad Lane, Sheffield, South Yorkshire

Urban Farm DB summary

A desk-based assessment of land at Garden Street and Broad Lane, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, conducted in July 2007, involved a site visit and documentary research. The site, undeveloped prior to 1736, contained allotment gardens by 1779 and was developed with housing, retail, and industrial premises by the mid-19th century. These 19th-century structures were demolished in 1935 and replaced by current buildings. The assessment notes uncertainty regarding the presence of cellarage in earlier buildings and the impact of 20th-century construction on potential sub-surface archaeological deposits.
