Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Kings College London to undertake building recording of no. 141 Borough High Street, Southwark (NGR TQ 32567 79995). The building lay within a Conservation Area although it was not listed. The recording was carried out before and during demolition in 2014 and 2015 in order to fulfil a planning condition. No. 141 was 19th century in appearance. The mid-terraced shop with accommodation above was built in yellow stock bricks. It had a basement for storage with a coal chute. The ground floor was laid out with an unheated shop at the front, an unheated central stair area and a heated rear room. The accommodation above had a heated front and rear room and a central unheated staircase area. It was covered with two mono-pitched roofs rising from a central valley. The front elevation had several 19th century elements including decorative consoles, a dog-toothed string course, semicircular window arches with decorative moulded terracotta, flat headed brick arches and two terracotta panels with moulded swags and tails. No. 141 is not shown on Tallis' 1838-40 Street Elevations, whereas no. 143 (next door) is. The similarity of the two facades suggest that they were built at the same time. No. 141 may have been built by 1841 when the premises were occupied by a Stationer and his family. He remained here until 1856 and was succeeded by other stationers to 1891. Occupants of the building during the 20th century included the Great Western Railway. |
