Abstract: |
The Museum of London Archaeology Service and Pre-Construct Archaeology (MoLAS-PCA) were commissioned by the Olympic Delivery Authority to analyse and record a standing building used as a sports pavilion at the East Marsh on the northern side of Ruckholt Road, London E10. The building was to be demolished in order to redevelop the site, and the archaeological investigation and a subsequent report were required as a condition of planning consent for the redevelopment. The investigation comprised a measured survey and photography of the interior, exterior and setting of the building. The building comprised a main range with a hipped pantile roof and clock tower, which housed showers and lavatories, and three brick blocks with flat asphalted roofs, containing fifteen changing rooms, which were arranged around a large central yard, at the centre of which was a brick and concrete sink and water tap for washing boots. The building was originally constructed at a cost of approximately £3,000, which came from a £10,000 grant made in July 1936 by the Manor Charitable Trust for the improvement of amenities on Hackney Marsh. The pavilion was first used on the 1st of January 1938, and was completed later that year. The building was severely damaged during the Second World War and was entirely rebuilt in 1953 to the original plans, with the addition of shower and lavatory facilities, an electricity supply, and an additional block of three dressing rooms. |
