The Old Bakehouse, 2c Main Street, Milnthorpe, Cumbria: Rapid Desk-based Assessment and Watching Brief

As part of a planning submission (reference 5/05/1234) for the redevelopment of The Old Bakehouse, 2c Main Street (also referred to as 3 Beetham Road), Milnthorpe (NGR SD 49725 81495), Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) was commissioned by Hanson Marston Mellor Architectural Design Consultants, on behalf of Mr IN Gunby, to undertake a programme of archaeological investigation prior to, and during, the proposed development. The programme was established in consultation with Cumbria County Council Historic Environment Service (CCCHES) and accordingly, OA North compiled a project design for a rapid desk-based assessment and a watching brief to be maintained during groundworks. The following document reports on the results of each phase of this work.
