Abstract: |
A desk based assessment and Level 3 historic building survey was undertaken of a range of buildings on 1-3 South Henry Street, 149-159 Botchergate, and No. 1 Rydal Street, in advance of a proposed redevelopment which would involve the demolition of the standing buildings. The research has revealed that Botchergate has been a major route into Carlisle since the Roman period, with numerous cremations and burials having been discovered along its length. There is archaeological evidence for activity in the medieval period, behind the street frontage on the opposite side of Botchergate, but in close proximity to the site. The historic building survey has revealed that the buildings appear to date to the early-mid 19th century, and were constructed as single-room deep, two storey high. Some fireplace locations could be identified during the survey. No's 155-159 and No. 1 Rydal Street appear to have been constructed c.1824 as part of housing erected along Union Street (now Rydal Street) |
