Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site, part of which was occupied by the disused buildings of the Shoreditch Industrial School, which dated from 1854 and had been converted to a hospital in 1930. The site lay on the north side of London Road, which was believed to follow the same line as the Roman road from London to Colchester. During the evaluation, a single pit containing 13th century pottery was found close to the line of London Road. This had probably been dug for clay extraction. Tree planting holes associated with the grounds of the industrial school were found in almost all of the evaluation trenches located within the boundary of the school. There was also evidence of landscaping along the southern boundary of the site, associated with the road. Trenches outside the school boundary produced evidence of post-medieval ploughing, a possible track and a large pit, which was also likely to have been dug for clay extraction. [Au(adp)] |
