Abstract: |
With the important exception of the Grade II* Listed garden wall of Palmer House, no structures on the site warranted preservation or recording prior to demolition. Additionally, existing archaeological databases did not record any particularly significant sites within the development area. However, the earliest reliable cartographic source is the 1843 tithe map and it was therefore quite possible that deposits prior to this date may survive buried within the site, unrecorded within the documentary record. If archaeological deposits were present, they were thought likely to have been limited to the southern part of the site '“ the gardens. Good survival was likely over all this area, including access track, except the part of the site formerly occupied by the glove factory. Deposits here may have included building remains (along the frontage), associated rubbish pits and cultivation soils to the rear, as well as demolition deposits associated with any fires. [Au(adp)] |
