Site Event/Activity record ECH6969 - Former Electric Cinema, Cross Street, Congleton, Cheshire: Archaeological Watching brief

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in 2021 during the excavation of six geotechnical test pits in advance of the redevelopment of land at the former Electric Cinema, Cross Street, Congleton. No artefacts or deposits of archaeological interest were revealed. The site appears to have been partly terraced with the south-eastern parts of the site being truncated, as indicated by modern deposits lying directly on top of the natural geology, which contrasts with the higher unterraced area to the north west.
