Abstract: |
The Museum of London Archaeology Service and Pre-Construct Archaeology (MoLAS-PCA) were commissioned by the Olympic Delivery Authority to analyse and record the monitor roofed Industrial shed, Marshgate centre and associated North light building. The buildings were 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 took place in November 2007. The Industrial Shed, Marshgate Centre, Marshgate Lane has been separated for the sake of this report into two buildings: a Monitor roofed building and a North light roof building. These structures are situated on the west bank of the City Mill River, north of the Northern Outfall Sewer. They were originally part of a complex designed in 1873 for T.H. Harris and Sons, Soap Manufacturer and Tallow Melter. The buildings continued to be used as such until 1929 when the company was taken over by Unilever and eventually moved out of West Ham in 1952. The complex was then divided into individual workshops for shop fitters, woodworkers and steel stockists. In 1969, both buildings investigated were used by Kenneth Neale and Company, tubular steel furniture manufacturers. The last occupation of the buildings was in 2007. |
