Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land at Site A1, Canada Water, Surrey Quays, Rotherhithe, London Borough of Southwark. Three trenches were excavated during the study. The earliest deposit encountered consisted of a layer of disturbed silty clay with frequent lenses of peat, which may represent redeposited alluvial material. This was sealed by 19th to mid 20th century made ground. A concrete slab, possibly associated with the 1875 dock wall, was unearthed. Early to mid 20th century internal and external surfaces associated with the former dockyard were also discovered, along with concrete bases and stanchion blocks that presumably formed part of a series of warehouses. No trace of the earlier 19th century basin wall was found. |
