Abstract:

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the groundworks associated with the redevelopment of the site. The earliest feature was a northwest to southeast aligned timber revetment dated to 1672 to c.1708 by dendrochronology. In front of this revetment were a series of timber baseplates, some of them were from re-used ship timbers including one of which was of German oak. These formed the remains of a possible jetty structure. Timber baseplates and a further section of post and plank revetment was recorded beneath the current brick and concrete river wall that built in the mid-19th century. Three 19th centuries brick buildings and other structures were recorded on the site. Building 1, possibly a workshop, was built on the eastern half of the site. Building 2, a house constructed along the Rotherhithe Street frontage. Several brick features including a well or soakaway and a circular brick base were located behind building 2. These were replaced a little later in the 19th century by building 3, a warehouse with brick and concrete plinths that probably supported iron columns. [Au(abr)]
