Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment was undertaken in relation to proposals to redevelop the site. The site originally comprised a number of properties fronting Saint Thomas Street, also the backs of some that faced east onto Temple Street. Both Streets were major medieval thoroughfares. Between the two sets of properties lay the Law Ditch, a substantial feature. All frontages were built up before the end of the 17th century. A Quaker Meeting House was established to the rear of Temple Street. Industrial activities were pursued in Saint Thomas Street, with pottery production at No.131 Temple Street. Substantial reconstruction followed the cutting of Victoria Street at the end of the 1860's. The whole area was levelled during the Blitz. In the 1950's a new road was laid to the north of the site and the present garage/showroom erected. [Au] |
