Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at 1-8 Felgate Mews, Hammersmith, W6 0LY. The work was comprised of two evaluation trenches. Natural River Terrace Gravels were observed in both trenches, the OD heights suggesting that the natural strata declines towards north of the site, away from King Street. The presence of brickearth was observed in Trench 1 towards the north. Quarry pits dated to the 18th century were observed in Trench 2, to the south of the site, most likely for the purpose of brickearth extraction at a time when new buildings were being constructed in the area. The 19th century brick footings observed in Trench 2 appear to relate to the buildings that first appear on maps of the site during the mid 19th century, with the name mews suggesting their use as stables. The contents of the domestic rubbish pits to the north of the site suggest that the nearby inhabitants were of a comfortable socio-economic status. The change in nature of the site during the early-mid 20th century was accounted for by a number of substantial brick and concrete footings, services and manholes that relate to the 'food factory' which was established on site during this period. The extent of these structures caused severe truncation to earlier features and deposits where encountered and extended into the river terrace sands and gravels. |
