Abstract:		 In August 2016 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out building recording and monitoring at 15 Fishpool Street, St Albans, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 1426 0716). The project was undertaken in advance of and during a programme to renovate and subdivide the property into four apartments. It was required as a planning consent/listed building consent condition (Planning Ref. 5/2015/3689). Technical analysis suggests that the carriageway, adjoining western frontage and an intermediate range behind, date from the 16th century and were constructed, with neighbouring buildings as an inn later known as the Old Crow. At least part of the western range adjoining the carriageway was probably jettied originally. Refurbishment and decorative elements of earlier 17th century and early 18th century date survive in places. A long, rear range was constructed as an homogenous timber-framed building of five bays, with an open, upper floor. This can be dated on the basis of structural characteristics to the early or mid-17th century, and was probably added at the height of St Albans's prosperity as a hostelry town, to provide stabling, storage and extra accommodation. During the 18th century, part of the building was brick-nogged, while in the 19th century the southernmost bay became a smithy, further brick stacks were added and the main frontage was underbuilt and bricked up. These changes may have followed a near-disastrous fire in the 1870s or '80s, which largely destroyed the intermediate range and required the replacement of the roof of the main western frontage. The inn reverted to domestic use after 1914. The rear range was renovated as a separate dwelling around 1970 and extensively refurbished with many recycled decorative elements of 17th and 18th century date.
