Abstract: |
A desk-based study was undertaken that showed that the application area had been developed at least from the mid-18th century and possibly from the medieval period. The application area underwent considerable development during the early years of the 19th century with the construction of both industrial (the tanyard) and residential buildings. By 1908, the tannery had been replaced by a glue works, which continued in various guises until the mid-20th century. Many of the houses were subsequently cleared, to be replaced by commercial activity. Geotechnical investigations had shown the application area to be overlain by deep deposits of demolition material and redeposited clays. [Au(adp)] |
