Abstract: |
With the exception of one small agricultural building, the site appeared to have been undeveloped until the arrival of the railway in 1879. It was possible that the narrow frontage onto Bodmin Street had been built on at an earlier date, but there was no indication of this on any map. The advent of the railway led to substantial groundworks, with terracing which provided a level goods yard. Various railway related structures, as well as the slaughterhouse were present on the site until replaced by a large agricultural merchant's warehouse, which survived until recent years. The terracing would have destroyed any archaeology once present, but there was scope for its survival north of the goods yard, where only garages, presumably with shallow foundations, appeared to have been present.
