Abstract: |
Archaeological excavation by Oxford Archaeology East extending over a 2440.9m² area was conducted at 9-15 Harvest Way, Barnwell, Cambridge following on from a trench evaluation in 2013. A wide range of features were recorded dating from the Iron Age through to the modern day. The site was densely populated in the medieval period starting in the 13th century likely linked with the nearby Barnwell Priory. This tapered off after the Dissolution but building and subsequent occupation picked up in the 17th century with a substantial increase in the early 19th century. In the 1820s and 1830s there was an increase in buildings within the site. There were up to three pubs (George, Shamrock and Black Bull) fronting Newmarket Road, and infilling of the eastern half of the site with two yards (Shamrock Passage and Brown's Yard) with terraced houses fronting both. Later in the 19th century Leeke Street was built, followed by Harvest Way. During the 19th century small scale industry including specialist glass making was taking place on the site. The housing and associated small scale industries continue into the 20th century, only being replaced in the 1960s when Newmarket Road was widened and the vacant land was redeveloped for commercial industry with the erection of industrial units. |
