Abstract: |
The investigation revealed no evidence of any prehistoric, Roman or medieval waterfront activity. The earliest development probably dated to shortly after 1825, when the straight quay wall was extended southwards reclaiming a further part of the foreshore. The quayside was neatly surfaced with small cobbles sloping very gradually down towards the river. By 1841 semi-detached warehouses had been built over the site area. Immediately to the north of the warehouses, the open quayside was surfaced using larger, more irregular cobblestones. By 1888 the northern part of the open quayside had been built over. It was likely that the warehouse was reduced in height and re-roofed at around 1910. Later the building was extended over the quay to the north, and a smaller extension was added to the east.
