Abstract: |
The results of the evaluation trenches have provided information on the position, construction and survival of the 19th century East London Waterworks Company reservoir that covers most of the evaluation area. In the east, trench PDZ4.08 located the pier bases for the reservoirs sluice gate and also a section of its eastern wall. The trench also provided information that suggests that, although partially truncated during its decommissioning, the 19th century East London Waterworks Company reservoir remains generally intact. The backfill of the reservoir consists of late 19th century commercial and industrial waste. To the north, trench PDZ4.25 has provided information on the depth of truncation caused by the construction of the reservoir and the nature of its backfill deposits. To the south, trench PDZ4.51 has located a 19th century brick drain or channel structure that may be associated with the reservoir and water management in the area. Although the reservoir structure has truncated much of the alluvial deposits within its footprint, the evaluation trench PDZ4.28 has shown that an interesting alluvial sequence survives intact in an area of land that lies between the reservoir to the west and the River Lea to the east. |
