Abstract: |
In January 2012 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording of the former Fountain Inn, High Street, Handcross, West Sussex, RH17 6BJ (NGR: TQ 263 300; Figs. 1 and 2). The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting in advance of the proposed demolition of the building, to satisfy a condition placed on planning consent relating to residential redevelopment of the site. The Fountain is located on one of the main historic routes between London and Brighton and appears to have been constructed in the early-19th century to take advantage of the increase in coaching traffic at this time. The building which survives represents the culmination of several phases of enlargement and modification that have much-obscured its original form. Despite this, some elements of its original layout, together with its subsequent development can be reconstructed from the surviving evidence. A small outbuilding of c. 1900 which represents an addition to an earlier range is located at the rear. |
