Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Oak Trading Company Limited to carry out an evaluation at the Stableyard, 16a Balham Hill, London Borough of Wandsworth (TQ 28734 74035). The site once formed the stableyard of the George Inn (now the Avalon) next door. This coaching Inn is not shown on the 1760 map and is shown on an 1829 map. The 19th century stableyard buildings on the site are currently used as offices. The evaluation was undertaken as a condition of planning permission for residential redevelopment of the site. Four 1m square test pits were excavated. These were located adjacent to standing walls in order that their foundations could be inspected by others. One test pit was located adjacent to the south boundary wall. The other three test pits were located in one of the stableyard buildings currently used as a car port. The evaluation established that the natural geological horizon was a mid-yellow brown silty sandy clay. It was sealed by a 19th century made ground horizon. Two 19th century red brick walls were uncovered. These appear to belong to former outbuildings of the coaching inn shown on maps from 1829 to 1869. By 1894-96 these buildings had been replaced by the current buildings on the site. Concrete encasing a drain was uncovered in Test Pit 2 and this test pit was not excavated further. The redevelopment of the site may uncover further evidence of the early-mid 19th century outbuildings previously occupying the site. |
