Abstract: |
In July 2016 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at 134 Cromwell Road, Whitstable, Kent (NGR TR 11096 66539). The evaluation was commissioned by Landminster Construction Ltd and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission to demolish the former Royal Mail sorting office and Chaucer House storage unit and erect a new mixed use building comprising 22 flats and A1 commercial and associated storage space. The site is located in Whitstable town centre close to the harbour and High Street. It lies in an area where very little archaeological investigations have taken place and the archaeological evidence is scarce. The site had a potential for medieval remains and also some potential for evidence of prehistoric activity as the latter is known from wider area in this part of Kent. In the event the evaluation revealed no archaeological features or finds. The site appeared to have been subject to extensive modern development, in particular in relation to construction of the existing sorting office. The latter activity resulted in only modern 20th century deposits and structures being present on the site. |
