Abstract:
In June 2008 the Museum of London carried out the first phase of an archaeological evaluation on the site of 4-6 New Inn Broadway, EC2. A second phase of an archaeological evaluation was carried out by the Museum of London Archaeology Service on the site in February 2009. Although the remains can not be confirmed as those of the 16th century playhouse known as The Theatre, the presence of curving masonry structures, an internal sloping gravel yard surface and brick threshold would indicate that the remains are very likely to be those of The Theatre. The sloping internal yard surface and brick threshold are both features which have close parallels with structural elements of The Rose theatre. After the playhouse was demolished at the end of the 16th century the site was occupied by a series of ephemeral structures which appear to have been constructed from reused building material, possibly taken from the remains of the playhouse. Evidence for 18th century domestic occupation was found in the form of drains and soakaways which relate to a previously record house. The garden soils to the rear of the house were found to have been truncated by a series of pits and postholes. Archaeological evidence shows that by the 19th century the site was for used as occupied by commercial premises. The cobbled yard surface of which is 0.35m below the modern slab level.
