Abstract: |
Two evaluation trenches were excavated (Trenches 1 and 2) up to 1.21m below current ground level. Natural brickearth capping terrace gravel was recorded in both evaluation trenches between 16.40m OD and 16.34m OD.The natural brickearth was overlaid by re-deposited brickearth dated to the post-medieval period in turn truncated by a masonry foundation, located in the northern area of the site (Trench 1), dated between 1850 and 1900. This foundation was interpreted as part of a mid to late 19th century re-development of 'Critchell Place' originally constructed in 1822. Archaeological evidence of the 1950s re-development of the site was also recorded. The facing frontage of the building fronting New North Road was rebuilt (Northern Block) whilst its north-eastern frontage remained unchanged (until the final demolition in 2015) since its original construction in 1822. More archaeological evidence of another rectangular smaller building located to the south-east of the Northern Block was also recorded. No archaeological deposits pre-dating the post-medieval period were observed during the archaeological evaluation. |
