Abstract: |
The desk-based assessment revealed that historically the site had been pastureland, known as Bishop's Park. Prior to this, it had probably belonged to St. Augustine's Abbey until c.1542, when the bishopric was created. Three large ponds were identified in the western part. Although a road infrastructure park. In c.1770 by Samuel Worrall leased the land and intended to develop the area with houses, but the area remained relatively unaltered until 1869 when a viaduct was constructed. The site continued to be residential until the mid-20th century when some of the properties in Lower Lamb Street began to be used for commercial purposes. Probably as part of the slum clearances of the early 1960's the study area was redeveloped with the construction of the buildings currently occupying the site. The study indicated a medium to high potential for the survival of archaeological features within the site. [Au(abr)] |
