Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake historic building recording at Mayor's Avenue Travis Perkins, Dartmouth, Devon. This work was undertaken in advance of the restoration of the property and to set it building in its historical and archaeological context. Long range of three attached warehouses and the surviving north wall of an open yard, within the former historic quayside area of Dartmouth. All the buildings are upstanding but in fairly compromised condition, with significant structural cracking. In active working service as commercial warehousing for the Dartmouth branch of Travis Perkins builders merchants, these important assets have broadly retained their intended function. The site is framed to the east and west by other former quayside plots, which have been recently developed to mixed character: retail, offices, as well as a public house and small supermarket. The warehouses have been stripped out of all but structural historic features of merchantile character, the ground floors replaced with poured cement and the second floors have lost their boards, all roofs have been replaced with asbestos corrugated sheeting, the roofline of Building 3 totally altered from double to mono-pitch. Building 4 was replaced at some point in the 20th century by a large modern concrete-framed, timber clad shed. In the late 1970s/early 1980s, the ground was dug away at the front, a small brick office building and early stone rubble building were demolished and a new office and shop structure was built of brick and concrete block, fronting onto Mayors Avenue.
