Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by J. Ollif and Son to undertake building recording at the Liberty Printers Site, no. 7 Willett Road and nos 2 to 12 Thornton Road, Thornton Heath, Croydon, centred on OS NGR TQ 31189 67752. None of the eleven buildings within the site are listed nor do they lie within a Conservation Area. Recording was carried out in response to a planning condition for the redevelopment of the site and the demolition of the existing buildings. It was undertaken in October 2013 in accordance with English Heritage's Level 2. Documentary research and building recording established that the earliest buildings on the site were built between 1868 and 1894-96 and comprised no. 2 Thornton Road, a detached house; nos 4 to 8 Thornton Road, a terrace of three houses and an ancillary building at the rear of no.4. The latter was originally built as a school and was later used as a church and then a hall. A detached house (no. 7 Willett Road) and workshop were built on the northern part of the site between 1896 and 1913. Pond Engineering Works and others were operating on the site in the early 20th century. Further buildings were added to the northern part of the site between 1913 and 1932. By 1954-55 Pond Engineering Works had expanded to the east of the site. In the late 20th century several buildings on the northern part of the site were replaced with a large workshop. |
