Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations were conducted at 57 Broadway, Stratford, London Borough of Newham between 23rd September 2013 and 7th February 2014 and comprised of two phases of excavation followed by a watching brief. The investigations followed an archaeological evaluation undertaken on site between 24th July and 5th August 2013. The archaeological investigations recorded evidence of activity on site during the prehistoric and Roman periods as residual finds. Development of the site took place during the medieval period with evidence for a multiphase building fronting onto a probable road in the northern part of the site. Further structural development was evident in the north of the site during the early part of the post-medieval period, with expansion undertaken at later stages of the post-medieval period. The post-medieval building is thought to be the historically documented Rokeby House. The building was removed at the end of the post-medieval period and the 'Empire Theatre' was constructed thereafter. The modern structure was archaeologically evident as a series of concrete foundations and brick walls. The impact of probable WWII bombing was also recorded. |
