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 Northern Outfall Sewer (OL-02507) and its associated structures: the Greenway Bridge over the River Lea (OL-02207), the Greenway Bridge over Marshgate Lane and Pudding Mill Lane (OL-02307), the Pedestrian Subway (OL-04107), Abbey Lane Pedestrian Bridge (OL-04507), the Pedestrian Bridge Spanning the Channelsea River (OL-04607) and the Pedestrian Viaduct of the Outfall Sewer (OL-04707). All of the structures were to be removed or altered in order to redevelop the site, and the archaeological investigation and subsequent report were required as a condition of planning consent for the redevelopment. The investigation of the structures took place periodically from March through to November 2007. The Northern Outfall Sewer is covered with an earthen embankment, along the top of which runs a public footpath known as the Greenway. As it runs through the site, the sewer is carried over roads and rivers on a series of bridges. The oldest structural remains date to the initial construction period from 1859 to 1863. Due to a rising population, two extra pipes were added during 1904-05 in order to increase its capacity, resulting in pre-existing bridges being extended on the north side. Subsequent years saw the structures of the sewer repaired and maintained rather than significantly altered. In the early 1990s, efforts to construct and maintain green areas within London resulted in the path along the top of the sewer was modernised and renamed 'The Greenway'. |
