Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Limited was commissioned to undertake historic building recording of a water tank in the garden of Number 1 Church Park Cottages, Brixham Road, Kingswear, prior to the submission of planning consent for the demolition of the tank. This work was carried out to fulfill the archaeological planning condition on the development in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation produced to fulfill a brief from Devon County Historic Environment Service. Numbers 1 to 6 Church Park Cottages are a terrace of six cottages, formerly coastguard cottages. Dated to 1866, they are listed grade II. The large, gravity-fed brick-built water tank lies within the garden at the rear of Number 1 Church Park Cottages. It was fed by a pair of springs slightly higher up the slope to the south west. The springs are enclosed by their own, smaller, stone-and-brick cistern structures. It is probable the springhead cisterns were constructed at the same time as the cottages (c.1866), but that supply, capacity or head of water proved insufficient and the large brick water tank was built, perhaps when the water came to be piped directly into the cottages themselves. |
