Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation consisting of 5 trenches. Natural deposits were only encountered within sondages in Trenches 1 and 2 in the southern part of the site. Natural sand and gravel found in Trench 1 was consistent in character with Kempton Park gravels and was overlain by alluvial clay. Potential alluvium was also found in Trench 2. These alluvial deposits were likely to be associated with the Falcon Brook which existed now in a sewer immediately to the south of the site. All five trenches were found to contain structures associated with the Price's Candle Factory and its successors, dating from the 19th-20th century, including soakaways, floor surfaces, extensive wall foundations, large basements and layers containing industrial waste. The only deposit that pre-dated the Price's Factory Complex encountered during the evaluation other than the natural alluvium and sand and gravel was a layer composed of possible post-medieval homogenous dumped deposits. This material was found to be sealing the natural deposits within a sondage in the eastern part of Trench 1. |
