Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during Thames Water mains replacement works between 28th August and 18th May 2011. The works were located to the north of Jamaica Road up to the southern bank of the River Thames, and between Cherry Gardens Street to the west and Tunnel Road to the east. Many trenches just exposed modern road make-up layers over services (and associated service backfills), layers of dumping, and 'made ground' layers, with no significant archaeological remains. Other trenches, however, exposed archaeologically significant deposits and features. This included alluvial deposits reflecting the 14th Century episodes of flooding, evidence for the 17th Century delft-ware pottery factory, and evidence for 17th Century development in the area. Some brick features could be directly identified, including the 'Mill Pond Bridge' at the corner of Paradise Street with West Lane. Very little evidence was, however, uncovered concerning Edward III's 14th Century Manor House. No in situ remains relating to this were uncovered, with the only evidence relating to this consisting of medieval pottery and tiles. |
