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 an item of unidentified machinery on the southern side of Temple Mill 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 the remains of a brick shelter, constructed of yellow machine-made bricks, on the southern side of Temple Mill Lane in Stratford, E15. The shelter housed two cast iron air valves; the smaller was used to expel air under pressure from the water mains which runs under Temple Mill Lane. The larger valve released air from the mains when it was being filled, and admitted air when it was being emptied. The valves appear to have been constructed no later than the 1920s, as a new double air valve, which would combine both tasks, was being manufactured by Glenfield and Kennedy by 1931 |
