Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by the British Museum to undertake building recording of the boundary wall between No.s 1 and 1A Montague Place, British Museum, London Borough of Camden, centred on NGR TQ 29924 81760. Although the boundary wall, No.s 1 and 1A Montague Place are not Listed Buildings, they lie within the Bloomsbury Conservation Area. The recording was required by the Local Planning Authority in connection with the proposed International Conservation and Exhibition Centre at the British Museum. The proposed development comprises the construction of a new exhibition facility and the demolition of a number of buildings, including the boundary wall to enable access from Montague Place directly into the proposed development site. The wall was recorded on 3rd August 2009 broadly in accordance with English Heritage's Level 3. It was originally built as a garden wall for No. 10 Bedford Square in the late 18th century. The wall had a doorway at its east end which gave access from the street to the garden; it has since been blocked with brick. A row of infilled holes may represent evidence for a temporary garden shed or glass house on the south side of the wall. A curved wall connecting the boundary wall to No. 1A Montague Place appears to have been built when No. 1A was built in the late 19th or early 20th century. A wall connecting the boundary wall to No. 1 Montague Place appears to have been built when No. 1 was built in 1971. |
