Abstract: |
In June 2013 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording of a former public house, the 'Ship Aground', off Lea Bridge Road, Hackney. The work was commissioned by Singh Sabha Gurdwara Nel, prior to the alteration and refurbishment of the building as a Gurdwara, or Sikh temple. Suggestions that either the current building or a predecessor on the same site acted as an entrance building to Lea Bridge Dock have not been substantiated by a review of the available documentary evidence. The current building seems to have been purpose built as a public house, replacing a row of cottages which in their later history served the same function. It would appear, however, that the boundary walls to the rear of the property retain elements of previous structures on the site. Based on cartographic evidence the current structure was erected sometime between 1872 and 1894. |
