Abstract: |
Archaeological building recording was undertaken on behalf of David Allcock and Julie Toland to the rear of 31 High Street, Stourport, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8103 7128; HER ref WSM 43241). The buildings recorded consisted of a large warehouse structure adjoining 31 High Street and a stable building to the south of this. Both buildings were accessed from a lane off York Street and were within part of the property of 10 York Street. The buildings were both constructed of brick with king post timber roof structures. The stable was built in the late 18th century and is depicted on a map of 1802. It was built as a stable, with a first floor hay loft and still retained iron tethering rings on the ground floor. When it was built it was associated with properties on York Street and only became part of the High Street property when the warehouse building was constructed in the early 19th century. This building was depicted on the 1835 tithe map. By the late 19th century a toilet extension with basket arched opening had been added to the exterior of the warehouse and further extensions had been added to the exterior of the stable although these have now gone. Documentary research showed that the buildings had been used by a succession of boot makers from around 1875 to the present day. Map regression analysis showed that the buildings were constructed within a system of strip fields that existed before the founding of Stourport in the late 18th century. This system of strips can still be seen reflected in the back lanes and boundaries of Stourport today. |
