Abstract: |
August 2010. Oxford Archaeology conducted archaeological trial trenching at Charles House, 375 Kensington High Street, London. The programme comprised six archaeological evaluation trenches ranging in length from 10m to 30m.Two further trenches were originally proposed for excavation. However due to the absence of any pre-Victorian archaeological remains and the extent of Victorian and modern truncation, Greater London Archaeological Advisory Service deemed their excavation not necessary. Victorian remains associated with the Victorian Kensington Crescent were discovered in trenches 1, 2, 3 and 8. These comprised brick walls, brick built vaulted cellars, internal concrete and brick floors and an external cobbled surface. The remains of the cellars and cobbled surface were less than 1m below current ground level, and survived relatively intact up to a depth of c. 2m. The cellars fronting onto Kensington Crescent were in-filled with a combination of sand and demolition debris. Trenches 5 and 6 both contained Victorian or later brick built soak-a-ways. |
