| Abstract: |
The assessment provided evidence that demonstrated that this area of Bristol had been occupied since at least the 13th century AD. Development took place from quite early on along Frogmore Street, however, the area that included the site was used as pasture and was known as Culver Close. By the mid-17th century Culver Close was being used as gardens and orchards for houses fronting Frog Lane (Frogmore Street). Photographs taken in the 1950s showed a number of 17th century buildings occupying the eastern end of the site. It was concluded that an archaeological evaluation would be necessary. [AIP] |
