Description
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on 30-31 May and 31st October 2023 at Willow Bank House, Handforth, Cheshire. Due to the proximity of the proposed development area to the former Handforth Railway Station, opened in 1842, there was a strong possibility of archaeological remains to be present within the site. A drain, part of a wall and possible step were observed; they were 19th century in date and probably related to the station buildings as shown on historic maps. (1)
