| Abstract: |
The watching brief was undertaken on the erection of a new office building. Documentary and illustrative records showed that at least two buildings of 16th/17th century date existed on the site before they were demolished in 1937 to make way for the Guildford Labour Exchange. Recording recovered eight pits, a brick and stone culvert, a brick and stone lined cellar and four well shafts. All but two pits and two undated well shafts were backfilled with soil containing 19th century ceramics. One of the pits contained a piece of Borderware pipkin and may have been of late 16th or 17th century date. The other pit contained the neck of a 17th century glass bottle, and may have been of that date or later. Only two residual medieval sherds were found over the entire site. The evidence seemed to suggest that a suburb had built up along Chertsey Street by the later 16th or early 17th century, but there was no definite evidence for any earlier occupation. [Au(abr)] |
