Abstract:		 The watching brief monitored the excavation of underpinning pits on the Thames foreshore at the south of the site and basement excavation in the main development area. The overall sequence recorded at the site comprised a number of phases, beginning with the deposition natural gravel seen in all areas. The earliest evidence of human activity was provided by a single post driven into the gravel, which may have dated as early as the 17th century. This and the gravel were sealed by an alluvial deposit which could also be seen sealing the gravel in the basement excavation area. Post dating the alluvial deposition was a brick structure supported on piles and beams in the basement area, which was protected to the south by a contemporary timber structure. This structural phase probably dated to the 18th century. Subsequent activity probably associated with boat building and repair and likely dating to the 19th century was evidenced by insertion of a floor within the brick structure and tar and pitch deposition north and south of the river wall, whilst the most recent deposits comprised foreshore material to the south and infilling/ground-raising material to the north.
