| Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment was undertaken in response to the proposed alteration of the existing building and its extension into the garden area. The report concluded that this part of Bedminster had retained its rural character until the end of the 19th century. The study area had formed part of the gardens of a house since at least the end of the 18th century and probably from much earlier. By 1875 the cottage occupying the site had been replaced by Luckwell House, the area of the garden apparently remaining the same. Luckwell House was itself replaced by two smaller houses. Apart from some minor changes, the garden again remained on similar boundaries to those of 1875. The conjectured line of the Roman road from Bedminster Down may have passed south of the site however, no artefactual evidence for Romano-British occupation had been found in the area was just conjectural. Luckwell Road, was a route of some antiquity and was certainly in existence by the mid-17th century. A well, the Luckwell, lay to the south of the application site at the junction of modern Smyth Road with Luckwell Road. The origin of the name Luckwell was uncertain but was most probably a corruption of Luke's Well. The name Luckwell had certainly been in use for some time in 1669 and possibly dated from the medieval period. Prior to 1827, a turnpike gate was installed at the junction of Luckwell Lane and North Street. Cartographic evidence appeared to show a small structure against the eastern corner of the garden wall with a larger building or structure on the east corner of Luckwell Lane. There was now no evidence for the survival of any such feature n the boundary wall of the site and Luckwell road had been considerably widened on its east side. [Au(adp)] |
