Abstract: |
In November 2017, Cotswold Archaeology was commissioned by Planning Potential on behalf of ALDI Stores Limited to undertake a historic building recording of non-designated buildings in Newton Abbot, Devon. Two attached structures survived on the Site. Both structures date to the late-19th century, one of which (Building B) was previously identified as the remains of an 1840s stone-built railway structure. However, a reassessment of the historic maps and plans has identified both buildings as dating to the late-19th century with no evidence of a previous development on the Site. The interior of the brick carriage shed (Building A) has undergone a series of alterations, with minimal historic features surviving. Initially the building was to be recorded in two phases due to adjacent modern extensions which obscured the west gable. However, in October 2018 the building caught on fire and became too unstable to allow for the second phase of recording. An archaeological watching brief was under taken during the lifting and removal of the floor slab/foundations. This located a subterranean structure at the northern end of the building that appears to have been a foundry of some sort. No deposits or features predating the structure was identified. |
