Abstract: |
Approximately 1.7km of trenching was observed within DMA Crouch Hill 61, in the City Road area of the London Borough of Islington. The majority of trenching exposed modern road layers overlying modern made-ground, service cuts and associated backfills. Sections of 19th century brick wall were exposed in trenching on Nelson Place, Central Street, City Garden Row and Pickard Street, the remnants of coal-cellar walls belonging to the later 19th century properties constructed during the wide-scale residential development of the area. Up-cast material from the excavation of these cellars was deposited as made-ground and exposed in a number of trenches. Areas of redeposited natural clays were exposed in trenching near the City Road Basin, it is likely these were dumped following the excavations of the Basin and canals in the earlier 19th century. |
