Abstract:
In response to a condition placed on the listed building consent for alterations to the fabric of the listed buildings located at 1 - 2 George Street, St Albans, the Heritage Network was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring. The monitoring of the alteration works, and the associated background research, has established that the rear wall of the no.2 George Street is of later 19th century date. The window in this elevation was blocked using Fletton bricks, which are common throughout the 20th century. Restoring the opening exposed no new or unexpected features. Removal of the modern plaster facing around the new opening between nos. 2 and 1 George Street revealed an earlier opening that had been blocked by brickwork that dates to the late 19th or early 20th century. A timber storey-plate was observed running north-south above the brickwork, and a vertical stud could be seen in situ beyond the opening. It is possible that the observed timber framing predates the late 17th century date for no.2 given in the listing description, but no definitive dating was possible. No historic fabric was disturbed in the course of the alterations.
