Abstract: |
Allen Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Freeman Brear Architects to undertake a programme of historic building recording as a condition of planning consent to convert existing outhouse and demolish and replace the existing cottages No 113 and 115 on High Street and Dobb's yard in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire. The survey comprised cottages No 113 and 115 in light coloured bricks, wooden sheds and a brick outbuilding to the rear. The sheds and outbuilding were largely inaccessible thus limiting the survey. Four phases were identified on site. The narrow fronted cottages are likely to be of 19th century date and shown on the 1888 Ordnance Survey map. They have largely retained their original plan with two up two down and unheated bedrooms on the first floor. An early feature comprised ceiling plaster directly applied to reeds held in place by occasional laths. The wooden sheds to the rear of the cottages are late 19th or early 20th century replacements of earlier 19th century structures. The fireplaces suggests the sheds have been used as washhouses, outdoors toilets and potentially sculleries before plumbing was introduced to the ground floor kitchens. An extension was added in the early 1900s about the same time as the brick outbuilding and washhouse was erected in the northeast part of the site as a result of expanding properties along the northwest boundary of Dobb's yard. Apart from a small brick extension to the wooden sheds, from 1926 onwards there have been limited changes to the surveyed structures. |
