Abstract: |
Mansell Homes commissioned Alder Archaeology to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey of a proposed housing development at the former Calderpark Zoo, Glasgow. The site had previously been occupied by an early 19th-century mansion, Calderpark, with its associated offices or steading, the successor to the earlier Newmill, and by the former Calderbank Colliery. Remains of features associated with the mansion were thought to exist. No remains earlier than the zoo or colliery were noted, except for a line of mature trees, perhaps part of the designed landscape. All areas of the site were extensively altered by the zoo and colliery, heavily overgrown by trees, or too steep to have attracted early human habitation. D Bowler 2015. |
