Abstract: |
South West Archaeology undertook a desk-based assessment of the site of the Fusion Nightclub in order to place the site in its archaeological/historic context. The site is situated at the south-eastern end of Lower Union Road and the medieval core of Kingsbridge lies on elevated ground to the north-east. From the 14th century there was a mill in the vicinity although the location of the Abbot''s mill is not certain and a mill pool ''occupying the lower part of the Union Road valley'' is also of unknown location but part of the site may overlie remains of this Abbot''s mill pool. In the early 19th century there was a malthouse in the south-eastern quarter of the present site. The north-eastern corner of the present site may co-incide with part of the early gasworks, though not the gas-holder which lay farther to the north. In the mid-19th century the central part of the present site became occupied by a brewery. This remained into the later 20th century. |
