Abstract/Summary

Archaeological monitoring along Angel Street, Northampton recorded the vestiges of a Victorian iron foundry, while noting that very thick deposits of horticultural (and locally foundry-related) build-up has probably left large areas with earlier archaeology relatively intact within a planning block extending from Angel Street down Fetter Street and Guildhall Road, almost to St John’s Street. Work in this instance centred upon preparations for piling, piling itself and the excavation of pile-caps for a new multi-storeyed block on Angel Street.
