Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief undertaken in advance of the construction groundwork following initial trial trench evaluation of the site. The earliest deposits encountered during the archaeological investigations were masonry structures associated with the two Retort Houses of the Chartered Gas Works located towards the north and south of the site, as well as a small portion of the largely removed gasometer and associated wells. Following the demolition of the Gas Works a single line of timber piles in the eastern area of the site may represent an intermediary phase of development on the site prior to the construction of a large building recorded across the eastern side of the site and visible on the 1914-16 Ordnance Survey map of the area. |
