Abstract: |
As a result of a condition on the planning permission for the construction of 12 flats and a pair of semi-detached chalet bungalows at 178 Norton Way North, Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Wheatley Homes Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological recording and evaluation. Alpen House, on the Norton Way frontage, was an early Garden City industrial building dating to 1907, and extended in at least four phases between c.1918 and the present day. Following the demoloition of the standing buildings on the site, two trenches were opened across the proposed development area. Both trenches contained a dark greenish grey, silty alluvial deposit. Cartographic evidence shows that the course of Pix Brook formerly ran across the site. No archaeological cut features were observed and no datable artefacts were recovered from either of the trenches. On thia basis it was considered that there was a low risk that archaeological remains of significance would be encountered in the course of the development of the site. |
