Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Stewarts Lane Depot, Silverthorne Road, Battersea, London Borough of Wandsworth. The initial phase of redevelopment included the demolition of existing structures including the southeastern end of the 19th century Erecting Shop and the whole of the associated Boiler Shop, as well as the removal of below ground structural elements associated with this earlier industrial activity. The only exception to the wholesale removal of the buried structural remains was within the area of the new office and workshop area, where machine excavations were limited to the cutting of foundation trenches and the excavation of support pier trenches. The watching brief recorded evidence for the known industrial activity of the site. This comprised exterior and interior walls, rail tracks, brick and timber floor surfaces with associated access stairways, and concrete bases that are believed to have once accommodated machinery or roof supports. Many of these remains could tentatively be placed within specific phases of the sites history either by location, type or stratigraphy and they are likely to span the period from the 1860's through to the 1970's. |
