Abstract: |
MoLAS-PCA were commissioned by the Olympic Delivery Authority to analyse and record six buildings within the King's Yard complex, north of Carpenter's Road. These buildings comprised, in order of construction: a three-storey Lozenge Department, constructed by 1902; a single-storey stable block, constructed 1903-4; a two-storey coach house, built 1904-5; an engine house, constructed 1904-5 and originally possessing a 120ft chimney; a three-storey Starch Department, constructed at the same time; and the Peel Shed, originally constructed as a single-storey building in 1906. An additional floor was constructed in the eastern half in c. 1908, as the company expanded. The majority of the buildings were to be demolished in order to redevelop the site, apart from the Starch Building which is to be re-developed and incorporated into an energy centre on the site. The archaeological investigation and a subsequent report were required as a condition of planning consent for the redevelopment. The investigation took place between January and September 2007. Known collectively as King's Yard, these buildings form a fine example of a virtually complete Edwardian factory complex. They were designed for Clarke, Nickolls and Coombs Ltd, Confectionary and Jam Manufacturer. In 1946, the company was registered and traded throughout the world under the name 'Clarnico'. Following damage during the WWII, a new factory complex was constructed in the 1950s on a site to the north. The complex was eventually divided into individual workshops for use of, among others, shop fitters, glaziers and clothing manufacturers. The buildings were last occupied in 2007. |
