| Abstract: |
The site lies on the southern verge of Ermin Street (now Denmark Road), leading west to the Roman fortress at Kingsholm established in the mid-1st century, and two pits excavated at No.107 Denmark Road contained a large assemblage of pottery of this date. Throughout the Middle Ages and well into the post-medieval period it is likely that the area was under cultivation and by the 1840s market garden allotments formed part of the Wheeler Nursery (later known as the Kingsholm Nursery). The existing house at No. 101 Denmark Road dates from the 1920-30s, contemporary with the extensive suburban development that took place in this part of Gloucester during the interwar period, and the archaeological observation revealed evidence of activity relating to this period of construction. No earlier archaeological features, structures or deposits were identified, although a single residual sherd of medieval pottery was located within the subsoil. |
