Abstract: |
A retrospective survey of a former, demolished dispensary and infirmary at 81 Meddon Street, Bideford was prepared. The building was constructed in 1887 and enlarged in 1895. It became a nursing home in the 1920s. A trench evaluation was also undertaken to investigate the potential for survival of earlier remains at the front of the site. A single, heavily truncated ditch, which produced a single sherd of medieval pottery, was exposed below levelling deposits associated with the dispensary. The evaluation confirmed the below-ground presence of walls of and services associated with the dispensary. Extensive disturbance was found within the footprint of the building. |
