Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Turner and Townsend on behalf of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to undertake, an archaeological field evaluation at the Holland Park School. The work is in support of the proposals to redevelop the Site, which will see the building of a new school on its current location. The southern part of the present school is to be developed separately for residential purposes. The Site is located in Kensington centred on NGR 524965 179915. The Site lies adjacent to Holland Park and the surrounding area is mainly occupied by residential housing and apartment blocks. The Site is bounded by Holland Park to the west, a tennis club to the north, residential buildings to the east and Sheldrake Place and King's College to the South. The Site lies at a height of approximately 35m above Ordnance Datum (aOD) in the north and 32.5m aOD in the south. The original slope within the Site has been reprofiled into two to three terraced platforms separated by small retaining walls up to 1.5m high. The underlying geology within the Site has been identified as Thames river terrace gravel deposits overlying London Clay. |
