Abstract: |
Fieldwork and building recording were undertaken on the site of a proposed retail and housing development. This site comprised the backyards of a group of tenements along the east side of Northbrook Street in Newbury. Evaluations, small excavations and watching brief established that activity of medieval date, probably commencing in the late 12th century, was present across the site, and continued at a small scale until the late medieval period. The Tudor period witnessed the greatest density of activity, but use of the backyards continued throughout the post-medieval period until the present day. Building recording was carried out on 38 buildings, largely those that were demolished as part of the development but also on a smaller number which were retained and refurbished. The most significant were the main townhouses fronting onto Northbrook Street, the brewery, malthouse and a range to the rear of 45 Northbrook Street. |
