Abstract: |
A programme of Historic Building Recording was conducted at 96 Great Guildford Street, London Borough of Southwark, currently occupied by the St. Mungo's housing charity.The St. Mungo's building was built between 1896 and 1900 as the St Saviour's Union Casual Ward. The exterior appearance of the St. Mungo's building is of late Victorian unabashed utilitarian design with decorative elements limited to an imposing brick pediment located to the central gable. Alterations to the exterior are limited. The interior fabric of the building has been mainly unaltered, although limited original features survive. Early alterations to the building are represented by the construction of a small single storey brick extension to the first floor, while later, more modern alterations to the fixture and fittings are extensive, giving the building a modern utilitarian character. Subdivision of rooms has occurred on each floor through the use of stud walls, although more extensive spatial reorganisation of the accommodation has occurred during the late 20th century in order to improve the available facilities. A single trail trench was excavated between 28th-30th June 2012. The trench uncovered post medieval layers of buried soil and made ground dating to the late 18th century. Cutting into these layers were a series of late post-medieval walls. No natural observed. |
