Abstract: |
In August 2017, Heritage Planning Services Ltd was commissioned by HSP Consulting (the agent) to prepare an archaeological desk-based assessment (DBA) for land at the former Blackheath Bluecoat School, Old Dover Road, London, SE3 8SY. Planning permission is being sought for the demolition of the present school buildings and the construction of a new academy on the site. The Study Area includes the grounds and buildings of the former Blackheath Bluecoat School (closed 2014). The Bluecoat school was founded 1700, in Greenwich, as a charity for girls, while the former Blackheath and Kidbrook school was founded on a site adjacent to the present, in 1854, as the St John's National School. The latter moved to the present site when a purpose-built building was opened in 1911. The majority of this original building is preserved on site, though there have been extensive building additions in the 1960s and 1970s; the two schools merged in 1959. The study area stands on the north side of the Old Dover Road, which follows the line of Watling Street, the Roman Road from Dover to London and the North West. As such there is the potential for the presence of buried archaeological remains, particularly of the Roman period, to be preserved within the Study Area. |
