Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the development of residential accommodation within listed buildings at Allen House, Ashley Down, Bristol. Stone-built wall footings were partially uncovered in the north, west and east courtyards, possibly pertaining to the boys and girls wash rooms for the former Muller orphanage. Although these footings could not be dated, or related to standing buildings, they are more closely comparable to the construction of the orphanage buildings than to those of the later City of Bristol College buildings occupying the site. Two water cisterns were recorded under one wing of the standing buildings. Further photographic records were made of the now accessible post-war alterations to Wing A. Stripping of ceiling plaster and roof coverings also allowed further photographic records to be made of the roof structures generally, to add to the limited recording of these parts of the building during a previous programme of works. |
