Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during the construction of strip foundations for a new building. This revealed features relating to the north side of a canal basin known as New Basin in 1803, when this part of the basin was known as the coal wharf. A thin bank of coal presumably represented this period of site use. Subsequently the adjacent residence known as York House was able to expand its grounds to include part of the coal wharf by 1884. This loss of wharfage space was compatible with the general decline of canal business, especially towards the end of the 19th century. [Au(abr)] |
