Introduction

London Square, Southwark, London. Archaeological Building Recording (OASIS ID: waterman2-259594)

This archive includes the report and data resulting from a scheme of archaeological building recording at London Square (formerly known as Rich Industrial Estate) in Bermondsey prior to its redevelopment. The record has been undertaken commensurate with levels 1-2 as outlined by Historic England.

This aim of this scheme of building recording was to provide a sustainable record of the buildings within the Site prior to their demolition or refurbishment. The study also aimed to further understand the Site’s historic development and the phasing of the building stock.

Research revealed that the Site’s first industrial use was in the nineteenth century, prior to which it had been open agricultural land on the periphery of the settlement of London. During the nineteenth century the Site was occupied by several different tanning companies as part of one of the most prominent trades in this area. By the end of the nineteenth century, with the exception of terrace housing bounding the Site, all the buildings were under the ownership of Elizabeth Lazenby & Sons confectionery company.

The Site was later owned by Crosse and Blackwell in the 1920s when they incorporated E. Lazenby & Sons. Crosse & Blackwell owned the Site for production of their confectionery products until c.1969. Since this period the Site has been used by multiple tenanted businesses who were located in many of the former factory floors, many of which have since been sub-divided.
