Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out on a road realignment at St Pancras Road, King's Cross. This was one of a series of watching briefs to support the redesign of King's Cross Central, in response to Camden planning requirements. Natural geology was recorded across the site, consisting of a blue-grey/orange-brown gravelly clay. This was heavily truncated by late 19th century and modern 20th century redevelopments to the study site. A 19th century culvert, plus contemporary footings and external wall were observed in close proximity to the still extant German Gymnasium. The external wall is believed to demarcate the original frontage of this construction. All deposits were sealed by 20th century made ground and resurfacing layers. All recorded deposits suggest large-scale redevelopment of the area during 19th and 20th centuries. |
