Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of CPC Project Services LLP to undertake building recording at 240 and 252 Camberwell Road, Southwark, prior to their alteration or demolition. The survey was carried out in response to a planning condition. Builders Colls and Sons moved to 244 to 246 Camberwell Road in 1853. Although most of their business was in South London, their attention was increasingly turned towards the City. In 1882 Ernest and Harold Hora's Wheel and Axle Works occupied the site along with Colls and Sons. From 1893 the latter operated from 240 Camberwell Road and by 1896 they were the principal occupants of the site. The firm built a number of important buildings in London. In 1903 Colls and Sons merged with another successful building contractor and became known as Trollope and Colls Ltd. In 1916 Trollope and Colls Ltd's timber yard and stone yard occupied the northern and southern parts of the site, respectively. Most of the buildings recorded on the site were constructed between 1920 and 1936. With the construction of these purpose-built joinery buildings (saw-mills and timber stages) the works at no. 240 Camberwell Road were first referred to as a 'joinery'. Trollope and Colls Ltd built the Royal Mint, Leadenhall Street in 1930 and Lloyds Bank, Head Office, Lombard Street, in 1931. The site continued as Trollope and Colls Ltd's joinery and they added a large manufacturing and office building between 1960 and 1967. |
