Abstract: |
PCA was commissioned to undertake historic building recording and archaeological monitoring prior to and during the demolition of one of two brick vaults at no. 170 New Kent Road, Southwark. The house is listed as part of a terrace of late 18th century town houses. The two arched vaults lay side by side in front of the house with a lightwell between them and the basement. The recording showed that the two vaults were contemporary structures, both with each other and with the late 18th century house. The western vault, latterly integrated into the body of the basement floor as a small bathroom, was originally built as a coal store, incorporating a coal chute (now internally blocked), central to the vaulted ceiling. The eastern vault was built from the outset as a beer, wine or food store, conveniently sited adjacent to a basement kitchen and incorporating flag limestone storage shelves or bins along its rear walls. Monitoring during the removal of the eastern vault revealed information about its construction. |
