Abstract: |
In June 2014 Archaeological Solution Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at The Royal Standard, 292 Mill Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB1 3NL (NGR TL 4702 5759). The site comprises the existing Royal Standard building fronting Mill Road, with outbuildings, grass and hardstanding to the rear. It extends to some 0.12ha. The evaluation was commissioned by DPA Architects Ltd in compliance with a condition attached to planning approval for the conversion and extension of existing buildings to provide student let accommodation and the erection of 5 terraced houses (13/0810/FUL). The site is located within an area of archaeological potential, fronting Mill Road, an important historical route into Cambridge from the east; named after a windmill that once stood at Covent Garden. This area comprised fields (historically) prior to the Enclosure Act of 1807 but witnessed large-scale development in the latter half of the 19th century. The arrival of the railway and the building of the nearby station in 1845 also had an impact on the character of the Mill Road Area. Various public amenities, places of worship and industries were also established at this time. In the event the evaluation revealed undated, putative quarry pits and one possible pit. |
