Abstract: |
South West Archaeology undertook a predetermination assessment of the standing buildings on the site of Strand Mews and a below-ground archaeological evaluation prior to a planning application to develop the derelict buildings. The site is situated directly behind the formal 19th century street frontage and open riverside area known as The Strand, within the bounds of the medieval walls of the town and the historic riverside quarter. Accessed from the main thoroughfare up a wide cobbled alleyway, possibly a former slipway to the historic riverfront, the Strand Mews building is on various levels, built across and between the large stone walls lining the medieval burgage plots which project from the High Street. The structure has some historic elements, built in stone rubble and brick, probably warehouses or wharf buildings which have been truncated and extended substantially in the 20th centuries to form the current building which has been redundant since its sale in 2006/07 and is now in a state of disrepair. |
