Abstract: |
In March 2010 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological monitoring and recording at No. 1 Cambridge Heath Road, London, E1 5SD (NGR TQ 3485 8195). The monitoring was commissioned by RG Group, and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of a new atrium to the superstore and temporary deck car park. The site is located in highly urbanised area to the east of the City of London. Until early 1990s the site was occupied by early 19th century buildings of Albion Brewery. The site's main potential for post-medieval archaeological remains associated with local developments. The site is also the purported location of a 17th century plague pit containing human burials. In the event the monitoring revealed 19th century building remains, likely associated with the former brewery. Wall M1022 (Tr.4) was directly comparable to the former brewery entrance which fronts Whitechapel Road and is the only remaining part of the brewery. The possible basements revealed in Trenches 5 and 6 may relate to the production blocks of the brewery. No human remains or any other evidence of the 17th -century plague pit was found, and the site had clearly suffered significant truncation in the past. |
