Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd on land at 72 - 78 Conington Road between the 11th of June and the 18th of July 2007. The earliest deposit encountered on the site took the form of the natural Upper Chalk. This chalk was overlain by the Ravensbourne Gravels which in turn were sealed with alluvial deposits associated with the River Ravensbourne. A sub square brick structure was also discovered and is believed to have related to repairs and improvements that took place to the armoury mill in 1754. The main phase of archaeological activity related to the discovery of the Royal Armoury Mill building, which was constructed in 1807. This was converted into a silk mill in 1824 and finally demolished between 1937 and 1938. |
