Abstract: |
The Museum of London Archaeology Service and Pre-Construct Archaeology (MoLAS-PCA) were commissioned by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) to analyse and record a standing structure, namely a brick wall on the western side of Angel Lane, London E15. The structure was to be demolished in order to redevelop the site, and the archaeological investigation and a subsequent report were required as a condition of planning consent for the redevelopment. The investigation comprised a measured survey and photography of the fabric and setting of the structure. The structure comprised a brick wall on the western side of Angel Lane, to the north of the centre of Stratford. It was constructed of yellow London stock bricks with some red bricks incorporated towards its southern end and had been repaired and rebuilt in several places; the structure was punctuated by a number of pilasters and was capped with concrete coping slabs. There were a number of blocked door and window openings with blue brick dressings, and the west-facing elevation had been covered with a cement render; a set of urinals had been incorporated into the fabric of the wall at its northern end. The wall was the last remaining standing structure from the Stratford Locomotive Works, which stood on the western side of Angel Lane and Leyton Road, and was established by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1847. The wall would have formed part of No. 2 Entrance Gate, the Brass Foundry and Hydraulic House, which had all been constructed by 1916. |
