Site Data from an Archaeological Excavation at Park Street Burial Ground, Birmingham, West Midlands, 2018-2019 (HS2 Phase One)

This collection comprises reports, site photos, spreadsheet data, vector survey data and an archive decision record from an archaeological excavation at Park Street Burial Ground undertaken by MOLA Headland Infrastructure on behalf of High Speed Two Ltd. Work was undertaken between July 2018 and May 2019 and forms part of Phase One of the High Speed 2 (HS2) rail project. The archaeology recorded during the works at Park Street has greatly increased our understanding of 19thcentury Birmingham and its people. The combination of inhumations and associated goods recorded during the excavations has allowed a rare glimpse into a town at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, as well as product manufacture and funerary traditions.
