Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Mr Kulbinder Johal to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Gardener's Public House, Well's Road, Nottingham (National Grid Reference SK 58912 41859). The work was undertaken prior to the construction of ten new dwellings on the site as part of Nottingham City Council planning consent 15/02767/PFUL3. A medieval healing spring (SMR M2057) is reputed to have been present on or near the site, possibly below The Gardener's public house and associated car park. The monks are recorded as having built a chapel adjacent to the well, dedicated to St. Ann, the mother of the Virgin Mary. After the dissolution of the monasteries, Woodard House, later St Ann's House, was built on the site in 1609, apparently reusing parts of the chapel or its foundations. By the mid 19th century its popularity had diminished. St Ann's House was demolished and a new house built. The spring was enclosed and a monument in the form of a gothic spire constructed over it. In 1887 this was demolished when the whole site was cleared to make way for the embankment and viaduct of the Nottingham Suburban Railway which remained in use until 1954. The Gardener's public house was constructed on the site in 1968 after the closure of the railway. High levels of modern disturbance were encountered during the archaeological monitoring of the ground works, both relating to the railway embankment and the construction phase of the public house. The natural substratum was not encountered within the confines of the archaeological monitoring. No archaeological features or deposits were identified during the ground investigations. It is likely that any archaeology that may have been present has been truncated by modern construction. |
