Abstract:		 The site appeared to be on land that had been reclaimed, presumably for use as a quay, by at least the early 18th century. The earliest documented development of the site was as part of a tar yard in the early 19th century, associated with tenements and buildings. By the mid 19th century it had been redeveloped as a coal yard, contained buildings and surrounded by a wall. Much of the boundary walls survived within the proposed development area. Penrose House appeared to have been built between 1865 and 1895, with associated buildings to the west and north. It was possible that present structures to the west of the site represented those shown on the 1895 map. Below ground archaeological deposits were likely to consist largely of 18th and 19th century reclamation material (soil, rubble and refuse) and foundations of former structures. The reclamation material may well have included domestic refuse and pottery from the surrounding area. Significant quantities of imported post-medieval pottery had been found during excavations around Sutton Pool. Depending on the depth of the foundations, it was possible that foreshore deposits of earlier date would be encountered beneath any reclamation material. These may also have included domestic refuse as well as natural silts and clays and contained evidence of past environmental conditions. [Au(adp)]
