Flints and frying pans: excavations at 11-13 Point Pleasant and the Morganite Works, Wandsworth

CHRIS JARRETT, BARRY JOHN BISHOP, NICK BRANCH, ENID ALLISON, ROB BATCHELOR, CHRIS GREEN and CHRIS PICKARD

Excavation of two sites at Point Pleasant, Wandsworth recorded archaeological evidence dating from the Mesolithic period through to the 20th century. A scatter of Mesolithic flints was the earliest indication for human activity and this is discussed with the other evidence in the Wandle valley for activity during this period. An infilled water channel or creek dating from the Early Bronze Age was also revealed and the environmental evidence from this feature is also discussed. From the early 17th century Point Pleasant was the location for industrial activity, initially for making iron frying pans and other kitchenwares, and then changing in the early 18th century to a copper mill. From 1770 industrial activity was concerned with vinegar production and dye manufacture for the local cloth and calico industries, the latter probably associated with the site at the start of the 19th century. Although no products associated with these industries were recovered from the excavation, features, waste and a small number of items associated with these localised industries were recorded and are related to the historical background. From 1820 the excavation area became the site of the British School and the rear of housing fronting onto Point Pleasant. Structures, rubbish pits and cultural material associated with this period were excavated and are described here.
