| Abstract: |
Report on archaeological investigations carried out in 2004 in advance of redevelopment at 163--7 Bermondsey Street, London SE1, at a site located within and adjacent to the boundary of the Bermondsey Abbey precinct.

Another building lay to the south, separated by an alleyway in which was located a garderobe. The north wall of this building was shown through excavation to rest on a timber pile foundation. Post-medieval development was built on the same alignment as the medieval property, and sixteenth- to seventeenth-century evidence included the foundations of a room with a pitched-tile hearth overlying the earlier room with chalk-built foundations, and an east--west brick drain running along the north edge of the alleyway and fed by a brick/tile drain outlet from the room. Foundations of an eighteenth- to nineteenth-century brick building were also found. Separately authored contributions include |
