Digital Data from an Archaeological Evaluation at the Former Swimming Pool, Sansome Walk, Worcester, 2020

This collection comprises images, tabular data, and GIS from an archaeological evaluation undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology in July 2020 at the former swimming pool, Sansome Walk, Worcester. Five evaluation trenches were excavated across the site of the former swimming pool at Sansome Walk. A small pit of Roman date was excavated from which a large quantity of iron bloomery slag was recovered. Two further features were in close proximity to it and although undated are considered likely to be probably contemporary. Remains of the building associated with the Turkish Baths established in the mid-19th century were revealed on the western side of the site, with floor surfaces and walls lying underneath the modern landscaping. Further walls from 19th century buildings were recorded to the rear of the modern swimming pool, although these were heavily truncated and no associated floor surfaces remained. The Roman remains are of local significance and may help to answer research objectives about the Roman iron industry in Worcester.
