The former cattle market site will be closed from
The evaluation is required by Malvern Hills District Council to assess whether any further excavation would be needed if Tesco was granted planning permission for a new environmental format store.
A desk study has already been carried out, which established that the site could potentially hold remains dating back to the medieval town, particularly in the western part of the site which would have lain within the medieval town boundary.
A digger will be used to excavate the trenches and remove excess earth to allow archaeologists to excavate the site by hand. The findings will be studied and a report will be submitted to the local planning authority.
Sophie Akokhia, corporate affairs manager for Tesco, said: “This is a very important evaluation which would need to be carried out ahead of any potential development on this site.
“The study is a requirement of Tesco’s planning application but this work also provides a valuable opportunity to investigate Tenbury's historical development. Very little archaeological investigation has been carried out within the town to date and we could have some interesting discoveries to report on.”

Interesting to see where everyone is going to park .
Great news... Tesco have withdrawn there application, now is the time to contact the landowner to do something with the site that will benefit EVERYONE,not just the cheap nappy brigade .
My children have all flown the nest . . . tell me, who or what is the "cheap nappy brigade"?
There was a long running spat on Facebook about the cost of nappies. From what I can remember the branded nappies were cheaper at Bowketts/Spar but Tescos own brands were cheaper. In a way it encompassed the whole argument. If you are prepared to compromise on quality (& if you are on a fixed income you often have to)
