An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at 195 Oldbury Road, Worcester, Worcestershire (NGR 382985 255373). It was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting, whose client intends to develop a specialist care home facility for which a planning application has been granted subject to conditions. Two trenches totalling 35m in length were excavated across an area of 0.6ha. All of the deposits identified were of modern date, consisting of rubble filled made ground overlain by a redeposited natural sealing layer and a compacted demolition layer making up the current surface. These are likely to relate to the construction and demolition of a public house which formerly existed on the site. No evidence of earlier settlement was found, despite the proximity to the Laughern Brook.
