Abstract: |
An Archaeological Watching Brief was conducted at Avenue Primary School in the London Borough of Newham, in preparation for the construction of new school buildings during July and August 2011. Three large, open cut, soakaway trenches were observed. No significant archaeological deposits were observed beyond a buried subsoil and several instances of remains relating to Victorian terraced housing that once crossed the site. These properties were destroyed by bombing during WW2 and the site sat vacant until the building of the school. The majority of the exposed deposits were natural gravels devoid of archaeology. |
