Abstract: |
Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) and The Thames Discovery Programme (TDP) were commissioned by Adam Brossler of Jacobs Engineering UK Ltd., on behalf of their client the Environment Agency to record the foreshore at Vaizey's Wharf, Anchor and Hope Lane, Charlton, London Borough of Greenwich, SE7. The investigation took place in January 2011. Two wooden riverfront revetments were recorded which were constructed from re-used ships' timbers, one of which was associated with a concrete crane base. They probably dated to the period c.1856-1904/5. The latest appears to have fallen out of use during the 20th century and been replaced by a corrugated iron river wall, which has seen at least two phases of repair. Four of the timbers in the later revetment appear to have been pine deck beams from one or two of either an 18th or 19th century 3rd rate line-of-battle-ship or a large frigate, while the planking of the same revetment may possibly be deck planking from the same vessel(s). |
