Abstract: |
In June 2010 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an historical building appraisal and a trial trench evaluation at land adjacent to Severn Place, Cambridge (TL 4603 5860). The work was undertaken in advance of a proposed new development consisting of 11 one-bedroom studio apartments following the demolition of a Nissen hut. The Nissen hut on the site was a robust example of a WWII Nissen hut constructed of brick encased in a semi-circular metal framework. The structure was in good condition. Within the interior the original fixtures and fittings had been removed to make way for its modern use as a garage. The trial trench evaluation revealed modern features including a wall and two post pads. The features may relate to a late 19th / early 20th century building which existed prior to the erection of the Nissen hut. |
