Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Archaeology South-East during groundworks for the construction of a new wharf at Orchard Wharf, Orchard Place, London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The work was commissioned by Jacobs. Works included the excavation of trenches, for the insertion of sheet piling, to a maximum depth of 2.5m below the current ground surface (4.70m O.D.). Site visits were made to monitor groundworks in May and June 2010. Elements of an early 19th century timber revetment wharf were recorded on the site and on the adjacent foreshore. The masonry remains of a later 19th century building associated with an iron works was also identified. Finds included a late 19th century anchor. |
