Abstract: |
In June 2015 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording at Land at Tunbridge Lane, Bottisham, Cambridgeshire (Centred at NGR 554520 260880). The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Limited to help inform the planning process for the redevelopment of the site, which proposes the demolition of the existing buildings and their replacement with low-rise residential properties. A Cultural Heritage Statement has previously been produced for the site. The site formed part of the RAF Bottisham training airfield during the Second World War, and a number of original buildings relating to this use survive on the site, alongside a small number of later buildings. The buildings were recorded at Historic England Level 3 following a preliminary Level 1-2 record produced by Archaeology South-East in 2014. The site is now occupied by Crystal Structures Ltd and the buildings are variously in use as workshops and stores. Despite some later modifications, the historic layout of the site can be appreciated and it forms a surviving fragment of a much larger RAF complex, illuminated by documentary sources. |
