Abstract: |
In March 2013 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out a historic building appraisal and an archaeological evaluation at the former Queen Adelaide Public House, London Road, Shenley, Hertfordshire. The work was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the demolition of the existing public house and the construction of three houses. The site lies within the Shenley Conservation Area in the historic core of the village, adjacent to the 18th century lock-up. The appraisal confirmed that the building was constructed in the 1920s or 30s to replace buildings shown on earlier cartographic sources. The architecture is typical of the inter-war period although much of the original appearance and layout is lost through later alterations. The interior has been substantially altered with repeated refurbishment of the public space as well as the private rooms above. Customers were probably served by an external WC block although recent extensions to the building house such facilities as well as a new kitchen and beer store. The evaluation revealed a modern soakway and drain. These features probably served the former Public House. |
