Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment was undertaken of the site prior to proposed development. The site covered an area of land traditionally suspected to lie within or beside the confines of a Carmelite friary, created in 1307 and dissolved in 1539. Architectural fragments had been found south of the site, but no archaeological remains had been reported. There were indications that the land fronting West Street may have been developed with individual properties either before the friary's establishment or immediately after. A mansion house occupied part of the West Street frontage until 1888 when it was extensively altered for a Co-operative Society store. A bakery built to the east of Paddock Grove was partly destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1909. The present building appeared to be a more recent replacement further west. The anticipated archaeological impact of the proposed works was limited to an external extension, and minor alterations to existing foundation columns. Environmental deposits had been recorded close to the river, but none were present on an adjacent site to the south. [Au(adp)] |
