Abstract: |
Heritage and Archaeological Research Practice Limited (HARP) were commissioned by Engineshed LLP to carry out a programme of archaeological works at the location of a proposed redevelopment at 22A Milton Street, Edinburgh in order to fulfill an archaeological condition as part of planning consent. The proposed development consists of a part demolition and change in use of the existing structures to two new, four bed dwellings. The development works will consist of part demolition of the existing structures and ground breaking for foundations and drainage prior to the construction of the new buildings. The archaeological works consisted of a Desk-Based Assessment (DBA), Historic Building Recording (HBR) and an archaeological watching brief to monitor ground breaking associated with the development. Results of the DBA, HBR and watching brief show that the warehouse complex at 22A Milton Street originates from the late 19th Century, and was part of the original Milton House Works. Since its original construction there were several alterations to the original structure, including a likely demolition and rebuilding of the western building. Following redevelopment works at 22A Milton Street, all of the original eastern building, and the additional steel roof beams remain standing and have been incorporated into the redevelopment. The rebuilt western building has been demolished and will be replaced by a new building. Other than the original foundations for the western building, and a possible tank stand associated with the original foundations, no other archaeological remains were revealed. |
