Full Description
<1> L-P Archaeology, 2020, Archaeological Watching Brief Report: BSP House, Chester Station, R4602 (Client Report). SCH9235.
An in situ, thin cellared area running roughly north-south was recorded in 2022 during development works at Chester Railway Station. This cellar extended to the standing building to the south and below the current ground surface to the north. The construction material and location suggest this was an early part of the railway and used for storage of goods. Of note were a doorway leading to the east, into the cellar of the adjacent standing building, which had been blocked, and in situ railways tracks, running east-west and aligned with loading tracks seen on the 1974 OS map.
