Abstract:		 In October 2013, AS carried out a programme of monitoring and recording during alterations at 22-26 Chequer Street, St Albans, Hertfordshire. The programme was carried out in order to comply with a planning condition imposed on approval for fabric alterations and change of use. Observation during the piercing of a wall between Nos. 22 and 24 provided further evidence for the development of both buildings, while documentary and other recording allowed a greater understanding of the buildings, particularly Nos. 24-26. Due to the extensive alterations carried out in the recent past, no historic fabric was affected during the planned works apart from the removal of brickwork to create the aperture. The wall was revealed to be substantial, being 0.45m thick and all of a single build constructed in late 18th or early 19th century brick. Nos. 24-26 comprises part of a larger structure including No. 28 which opened in 1912 as a new cinematographic theatre visible in a newspaper article of that date. The general outline of that building is evident but may itself comprise a remodelling of an earlier brewery building. However, the building has experienced substantial remodelling in concrete and blockwork at ground floor level, probably all carried out during the 1980s development of the Maltings shopping centre to the rear, meaning no historic fabric survives at this level. Nevertheless historic fabric may survive at upper level and within the roof space allowing a more accurate sequence to be developed.
