Mason Street, Edge Hill, Liverpool. Watching Brief Report

Lancaster University Archaeological Unit (LUAU) undertook a watching brief on behalf of
Joseph Finney plc on a site bounded by Mason Street, Grinfield Street, and Smithdown Lane,
Edge Hill Liverpool (centred on SD 354901).
The aim of the watching brief was to record any of Joseph Williamsons' tunnels, or other
significant archaeological deposits exposed during groundworks associated with the
construction of a new block of student flats. It also involved making a photographic record of
the tunnels accessed from the former stable yard, before, and after piling, for the northern part
of the new build in order to record any damage caused by piling.
