Abstract: |
In the summer of 2001 Archenfield Archaeology carried out a building survey of buildings on the former Davies Brooke soft drink factory site between Catherine Street and Coningsby Street, Hereford, in advance of demolition. During November and December a watching brief was maintained during excavation of trenches for new housing on the site. The building survey revealed that the earliest structure standing on the site was a two-storey building in the south-east quadrant, lying east to west along Catherine Street (building 1), which appeared to have originally been an agricultural building of the earlier 18th century. The area lies outside the medieval city walls and is of some local curiosity, as Catherine Street (''Catteslone'') and Coningsby Street (''Hospetalestrete'' or ''Hospetelaslone'') are recorded in the 13th century. References to medieval extra-mural streets are extremely unusual in Hereford. No evidence for medieval occupation was found during the monitoring of the construction trenching, supporting the suggestion from the records that the area was garden until the 18th century. |
