Abstract: |
.Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned to undertake rapid historic building and desk based assessment of the existing buildings and site of 403-407 New Cross Road, London, SE14 6LA in advance of redevelopment as a student accommodation. The assessment concluded that there was low potential for the survival of prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and medieval remains within the boundary of the site. The site was a market garden during the early 19th century. The surrounding area was developed following the construction of New Cross Station in 1849 and all three properties were standing by the early 1860s. It is likely that any archaeological deposits or activities encountered on this site will date to this period. The public house at 407 New Cross Road was known as the Walpole Arms by the mid-1870s, although the name changed in the 1880s to the South Eastern Distillery. This may have coincided with the enlargement of the building shown on historic maps. The assessment concluded that the interiors and exteriors of all three properties had been extensively modified, although the bar area of the Walpole contained a number of in-situ features such as an ornate ceramic tile wall characteristic of the 1880s/1890s, when the pub was probably refitted and enlarged. In accordance with recommendations made in a previous version of this assessment, the former public house was recorded to English Heritage Level 3 prior to its demolition and the properties at 403 and 405 New Cross Road were recorded to English Heritage Level 2. |
