Abstract: |
Eight test pits were monitored for the possible presence of unexploded WW2 bombs. Modern made ground and concrete overlay natural alluvial clays deposited by flooding of the marshy banks of the river Thames during earlier periods. No wartime ordnance was found. Standing buildings at the site were also recorded. These are associated with John Morton's jam and pickle factory, which was established in the 1890s and consist of two boundary walls (which appear to be the surviving remains of 19th-century factory buildings destroyed by bombing during World War Two), two substantial three-storey warehouses of early-20th century date, and two warehouses of 1950-60s construction. |
