Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by King's Cross Central General Partner Limited to undertake building recording of the Regent's Canal wall between St Pancras Lock and the CTRL Railway Bridge, King's Cross, London, centred on OS NGR TQ 29892 83665. This report follows on from an earlier programme of survey works carried out on the Regents Canal walls from Maiden Lane Bridge in the east, to St Pancras Lock in the west by Pre-Construct Archaeology. The Regent's Canal walls are not listed buildings but they lie within the Regent's Canal Conservation Area. Building recording was carried out in 2012 and 2013. The survey work included (where possible) both sides of the canal wall, and was completed in accordance with English Heritage Level 4. The canal was first built c.1820. The north canal wall on the north side of the towpath was built in 1850 when the King's Cross Goods Yard was constructed by the Great Northern Railway. The stretch of wall between St Pancras Lock and the CTRL Bridge represented a continuation of the canal wall built in 1850, and incorporated a series of large tie-bar plates providing lateral retention at the base of the canal wall, plus a series of 20th century rebuilding events and many localised repairs. The scar of the original lock-keeper's cottage of 1820 was also recorded in this wall. |
