Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs on behalf of Walworth Road Limited to undertake an Historic England's Level 2 building recording of 237 Walworth Road, Southwark. The recording was based upon photographs supplied by the consultant and the construction contractor and supplemented by historical research because the buildings on the site had been demolished in advance of the recording. The documentary research has established that the site was developed between 1830 and 1872 as an Iron Foundry, which occupied former gardens of late 18th century terraced houses along Walworth Road. By 1883, the site was occupied by a Hearthstone Works as well as the Iron Foundry. The Iron Foundry was run by Venables and Broughan (1888), while the Hearthstone Works were run by George Blanchard (1883 to 1928). Most of the Hearthstone Works buildings were demolished between 2003 and 2007, while the Iron Foundry buildings were demolished in 2013 or 2014. Photographs taken in 2014 and early 2017 show scars of their internal walls and floor levels in the site boundary walls and that the floors of the Hearthstone Works had red ceramic tiles.. A number of buildings were still extant when the 2014 photographs were taken. These included the site Offices, a garage, a Joiner Shop and a Clother. These 19th and early/mid 20th century buildings were demolished in 2014 or 2015. A number of former party brick garden walls to the terraced houses along Walworth Road are still extant on the site. |
