Introduction
This collection comprises reports, images, site records, and plans from the historic building recording carried out by MOLA Headland Archaeology at the DB Cargo Shed and Parapet Wall, Granby Terrace and Park Village East, Camden, Greater London from October to December 2017.
Project Summary
A Historic Building Recording programme was delivered by MHI to assess the character, layout and significance of the DB Cargo Shed and Park Village East. The building recording comprised a Level 2 survey, as defined in Understanding Historic Buildings: A guide to good recording practice (HE, 2016). This provides 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. It also enables the identification of any significant architecturally non-standardised features. The building recording was undertaken in accordance with specific guidance produced by HS2, namely the Technical Standard Specification for historic environment investigations (HS2-HS2-EV-STD-000-000035) and the Generic Written Scheme of Investigation: Historic Environment Research and Delivery Strategy (HS2-HS2-EV-STR-000-000015).
