Abstract: |
A desktop assessment was carried out in advance of proposed new residential units and car park area in Area A and open space in Area B, in the north-east part of the site. The site may have lay close to the Anglo-Saxon church of St. Helen's, dating from before 1066. It could also conceivably contained urban settlement plots or traces of the town defences which probably extended across the ridge from Bridge Gate. The site was part of Goodwin's Orchards in the post-medieval period, on land associated with Old St. Helen's House, a residence built on the site of the medieval hospital. The site was not used for buildings until the early 19th century, when both small industrial structures and several middle class residences were built. One of the latter was also called St. Helen's House until it was demolished in the early 19th century. The site had been largely used for commercial buildings. [Au(abr)] |
