Abstract: |
This assessment of proposed development at Cinema City points to the likely impact of those deposits upon the known archaeology of the site. This includes probable Late Saxon and early medieval deposits and features and an early routeway up to the Norman castle. The main focus of this Desk Top Assessment is upon the early 16th century merchant''s hall-house, known as Suckling House, thought possibly to incorporate an earlier set of service rooms, but which suffered truncation in 1900 by the creation of the present street in front oof Cinema City. The area likely to be lowered in the present proposals appear to represent the Little Parlour and Buttery on the east side of the Hall, and the open gardens beyond. What lay here before the building of the townhouse and occupation, known from medieval deeds is not clear, but the existence of an early east to west through route way (between St. Andrew''s and Prince''s Street) and also a Late Saxon industrial area (Pottergate) indicates the probability of significant archaeological deposits of this period surviving on this site. Property boundaries within the block in which Suckling House stands also hint at earlier features here, including St. Christopher''s church. |
