Introduction
The archive collection comprises a digital archive only. This includes text, including the Project Plan, Location Specific Written Scheme of Investigation (LSWSI) and Historic Building Recording and raster images, comprising photographs selected to support the historic building recording.
Project Summary
Recording has been undertaken in accordance with a project plan (Document number: 1EW02-CSJ-EV-PLN-S003-000040) and LSWSI (Document Number: 1EW02‐CSJ‐EV‐PRO‐S003‐000010) and HS2 Technical Standards (Specification for Historic Environment Investigations, Document number HS2-HS2-EV-STD-000-000035) have been adhered to during the recording exercise. In addition, the recording was undertaken in accordance with Historic England’s Understanding Historic Buildings guidance (Historic England, 2016) and the Standard and guidance for the archaeological investigation and recording of standing buildings or structures (CIfA, 2014). A building recording of Level 1 survey was required for the asset, as defined in Understanding Historic Buildings: A guide to good recording practice (HE, 2016), which identifies a Level 1 survey as a basic visual record. This provided a sufficient level of recording to make a record of the existing building in its present condition, and to understand any changes to the building over its lifetime, including a photographic record of the Building and its immediate setting. The interior of the building was scoped out in the Project Plan due to being constructed in 1975.
Re-Use Value Statement
This archive provides a comprehensive descriptive, analytical and visual record of the exterior of 58-64 Euston Street and their setting as of 2020.
The archive is of value as the demolition of the asset means that the archive provides the last remaining record of the asset.
Additionally, the archive can provide information for any future research regarding the asset and post-war development around Euston Station, which is otherwise inaccessible to the public. In particular, the archive can provide information relating to the construction of replica buildings following bomb damage during the Second World War.
