A watching brief was kept by R Poulton of SCAU, for Crest Homes, on redevelopment of the hospital site. This revealed that the scale of the development during the later 19th and, more especially, the 20th centuries had destroyed any earlier deposits.

A watching brief by GMVEU recorded a large 19th century strong room at the rear of the property. An early medieval well was also recorded. (292)

Examination of the cellars by GMVEU found them to be 18th-19th century in date and connected by a now bricked-in passageway to the Angel Hotel’s cellars, next door. (292)

A watching brief by GMVEU on alterations to the building noted earlier foundations, probably associated with the timber yard known to have been sited here in the 19th century. (292)

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU, on behalf of Chambers, in response to proposals to extend the mineral extraction area. Occasional finds of late 19th or 20th century pottery, glass and building material were recovered.

A watching brief by S Janaway of SyAS, on the groundworks for an extension, revealed a Victorian brick-lined cesspit containing various 19th century artefacts.

Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU, on behalf of the Strathmoor Group, of a site proposed for residential development. Three trial trenches were excavated and only one feature, which contained 19th/20th century material, was revealed. This shallow ditch is likely to represent a late field boundary, rather than the edge of the town plots. (321)

A watching brief was maintained by A & K D Graham of SyAS on the refurbishment of these buildings and a pair of timber framed barns (formerly a malthouse and kiln) to their rear and trial excavation was carried out in the garden. The main buildings were rebuilt c.1958 and the only evidence for an earlier phase was part of the north wall, which incorporated a probably Tudor fireplace. No evidence for occupation earlier than the late 18th/early 19th century was seen in trial pits or builders’ trenches.

Partial excavation of an infilled well in the garden by the BSAG and CNHSS. The shaft was lined with hand made and mostly unfrogged bricks, suggesting the feature is late 18th/early 19th century in date. A cottage is first shown in this vicinity on a map of 1820. The well was infilled late in the 19th century.
