Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Archaeological investigations were undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology prior to the re-development of two sites at 22 East Street and 23A-27 West Street, St Ives. No evidence for domestic occupation pre-dating the medieval period was revealed on either site. Evidence of medieval rubbish pitting suggests neither were within the built extent of medieval St Ives but lay outside the core and on marginal land along its northern periphery. The importance of both sites lies in their post-medieval development. The earliest features include large intercutting quarry pits, dug during the 17th century and thereafter back-filled with domestic rubbish, containing cultural artefacts dating to the 17th and 18th century. Their presence argues that both sites had remained on the edge of the medieval town. Domestic rubbish disposal appears to have ceased during the 18th century and both sites were re-landscaped, importing soils as make-up layers to level the ground prior to their redevelopment as part of the 19th century expansion of the town following the arrival of the Great Northern Railway in 1848. Brickwork foundations of former buildings cutting through these make-up layers were encountered on both sites. The West Street building remains are associated with out-buildings and back-plot developments appearing on the later 19th century Ordnance Survey map, while the East Street remains coincide with buildings once part of the Hop Bine public house and its stabling yard. A former stable building associated with the Hop Bine stable yard had survived, albeit in a much altered condition, until its recent demolition. | ||||||||||
