Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the Northern Area of Kings Cross central site. Two targeted trenches were excavated to ascertain the possible survival of outer wall of the 1850 locomotive repair shed, 'Top Shed' and an associated turntable. The excavation revealed natural clay to be overlain with post medieval soil horizons and a clay extraction pit, pre-dating the developement of the railways. Remnants of the 1850's shed wall, a machine base, a brick floor and exterior yard surface were recorded. Four engine pits were recorded and the concrete footing of an external wall provided evidence of 1930's remodeling of the railway yard.
