Abstract: |
In December 2016 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological `strip, map and sample' investigation at 87 Railway Street and 87-89A Railway Street/Mill Road, Hertford, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 32920 12915). The investigation was commissioned by Taylor French Developments Ltd and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the residential redevelopment of the site. The western part of the site was subject to archaeological monitoring and recording in 2011, and the result of the monitoring is also presented in this report. The archaeological features present on the site were of medieval (11th - 14th century) and modern (19th century) date. The majority of the archaeological remains were present in the northern part of the site although features were present across the site. The area appears to have been cultivated as an orchard or tree plantation throughout the medieval period parallel to the development of the priory and possibly partly into the post-medieval period. In the 19th century the site became part of a larger industrialised area. The building materials from the medieval priory were reused in the post-medieval structure located nearby and eventually disposed within the site when rapid Victorian industrial growth saw the construction of railways, Hertford East station, Station Hotel (later The Dolphin PH), numerous malthouses and other establishments in the surrounding area. |
