Abstract:		 In September 2017 Archaeology South-East carried out a historic building record of 8 Grove Hill Road, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent (NGR 558506 139110). The work was commissioned by MJB Architecture and requested by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, relating to the demolition of the existing buildings on the site for a residential development, together with associated access and landscaping (planning ref. 16/502868/FULL). The building has two main construction phases, the earliest of which is represented by the southern (rear) half of the structure; cartographic sources date this phase to between 1829 and 1839, and this is corroborated by the physical evidence. Between 1840 and 1867 the building was significantly extended to the north. This coincided with the rapid expansion of Grove Hill Road into a major thoroughfare, partly brought about due to the increased traffic resulting from the construction of the town's railway station, situated a short distance to the north-west of the site. The northern extension served as a purpose-built shop at ground floor level, with living accommodation above. In order to accommodate the new structure, the original building underwent numerous alterations. This included the insertion of window and door openings into the east elevation, in addition to the subdivision of rooms to accommodate additional WC facilities and a rear access corridor with separate external entrance. A rear lean-to also appears to have been added during the mid-/late 19th century in line with the more widespread provision of WC / outhouse facilities to terraced buildings during this period.
