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
Numbers 59, 61,65 and 67 Cobourg Street represent terraced housing development in the Euston Area from the early 19th century.
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-S003-000012) which has been included in this archive, 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 2 survey was required for the asset, as defined in Understanding Historic Buildings: A guide to good recording practice (HE, 2016). This provided a sufficient level of recording to both assess the character and use, and any changes thereof, of the Building over its lifetime, including a photographic record of the Building and its immediate setting.
