Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of the rear part of 103 Cheyne Walk, fronting onto Milman's Street to the west, took place in February 2011. The work was carried out as a condition of planning consent prior to the construction of a new basement development in this area (Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Planning Ref: PP/07/00912). Substantial and significant archaeological remains were observed in trench 1, however little of archaeological interest (except for one pit-feature) was observed in trench 2. The most substantial remains consisted of probable early 17th Century brick walls, which probably formed a basement or cellar, and a brick oven. This must have been part of a significant and substantial building, which would have stood on the site. It is possible that further remains associated with this basement may exist - including substantial basement fills and a possible basement floor. Other significant remains relating to the 18th - 20th Century development of this area were uncovered. This included remains of later cottages, both the cottages themselves and their back-yards (including a well, a possible rubbish dump, and the probable spine wall that ran between the two properties). In view of these results it is suggested that further archaeological measures be undertaken in relation to the proposed redevelopment and planning condition. This will probably take the form of an investigation undertaken when the bulk excavation takes place (at the start of the development). |
