Monument record 2853 - Greenall Whitley Brewery Site, Wilderspool

Evaluation 1991 of the Greenall Whitley Brewery Site, Wilderspool. 17 trial pits were excavated. Trial pit 4,immediately SW of the 'Roman' well, north of Greenalls Avenue, on a lawned area east of the boiler house, revealed evidence of a 19th C sandstone revetment wall, which was constructed along the line of the river bank. Up to 4 unbonded courses of sandstone blocks survived. A small area of cobbles abutted onto the south side of the wall, possibly representing 19th C road metalling along the line of Greenalls Avenue, which formed part of the Old Chester Road (1).
