Monument record 10937 - 18th century terracing at Russell Street Chester

Archaeological investigations at Russell Street in 2002 identified features relating to 18th century settlement including structural remains of several workers houses fronting onto Russell Street, rubbish pits and a probable well feature.

The evidence consisted of several brick built walls and floors in trench 2, at least one of which was probably a boundary wall, and a brick floor in trench 4 with a brick wall and stone foundation underlying it. A chimney breast of an 18th century date was also recorded to the south in trench 5. (1)
