Abstract: |
Overall, the study area contained the sites of almost one hundred medieval tenement plots. To the west of Redcliff Street these extended originally to the River Avon in a pattern familiar from archaeological excavations in the area. Those plots on the east side of the street and on the west side of Saint Thomas Street both ran back to the Law Ditch, a substantial medieval drainage course and land division that bisected the space between the two thoroughfares. Redcliff Street was a major route leading out of the town. Redcliffe was much involved with trade and cloth production in the medieval period, and the site of a number of industries both then and in the post-medieval period. Metal-working, distilling, sugar-making and malting and brewing were some of the trades followed in the district. Groups of tenement dwellings were erected off some of the streets in the 18th and 19th centuries. A few pre-war buildings and earlier walls were still standing, particularly to the west of Redcliff Street and in the vicinity of Thomas Lane and Three Queens Lane. [Au] |
