Abstract: |
In March 2014 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording of the former public baths and wash-house building, High Street, Hornsey, London Borough of Haringey (Site centre: NGR 530541 189359). The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, prior to the demolition and partial rebuilding of the building in connection with redevelopment of the wider site. It is proposed that the central part of the front elevation is to be retained and rebuilt in front of a new electrical sub-station, facing towards the street. The building was constructed in 1931-2 and opened in 1932 as a public bath and wash-house, with the baths in the eastern part of the building, the wash-house in the centre and the boiler house to the west. As a result of high demand for the facilities, the building was made larger in 1933 by extending the wash-house and bathing facilities to the north. An additional structure, accessed from the exterior, was built against the north wall by 1955, but has since been removed. By 1971-81, the building had undergone a change of use to office space. In the later part of the 20th century, the interior was greatly altered to form this office space, retaining only a few brick walls of the original building and some of the boiler plant. |
