Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the rebuilding of the upper parts of the sides of Millmead Lock. The archaeological recording recorded two phases of brickwork within the lock chamber. Both sides were made of frogless bricks, suggesting a construction date before 1900 as most likely, The phases were distinguished by the different mortar types. A lime mortar, used in the majority of the west side, was thought to be the earlier. A harder white mortar was used on the southern 5m of the west side, and on the town (east) site. This was thought to be later, the concrete-like nature of the mortar, combined with the frogless bricks may have suggested a later 19th century date. Documentary research had revealed that major repairs in concrete were carried out to the lock chamber in 1937, giving it the appearance it had prior to the present works. [Au(abr)] |
