Abstract:
Planning permission ( has been granted by Cambridge City Council for redevelopment of 91-93 East Road, Cambridge. The proposals comprise: demolition of existing buildings and construction of student accommodation (33 studios) with ancillary structures and access works. Albion Archaeology was commissioned by Dudley Developments to undertake the archaeological works. All of the features revealed relate to the 19th century or later - a significant time in the expansion of Cambridge, with the transition from open fields at the start of the 19th century, to sequential waves of residential and industrial development. The earliest activity on the site comprises pitting. Subsequent expansion of the town saw more buildings appearing from at least 1830, with the area very extensively developed by the late 1880s. A series of wall footings relate to this period, comprising an outbuilding in the vicinity of Trench 2 and a cellar in Trench 1 related to the street-front building. Subsequent redevelopment saw additional cellars constructed towards the street frontage, with a large tank to the south-east margin of the site. These will have disturbed the underlying archaeological deposits, particularly in the street-front area. The area to the rear of the site appears to have been impacted to a lesser extent, by more localised pitting and disturbance associated with the redevelopment of the site.
