Abstract: |
The aims of the investigation, as laid out in the WSI, were:
To prepare photographs and a brief narrative of the building before demolition
commences and to prepare photographs of the monument after the completion
of the works. Some detail may be revealed during demolition which will be
recorded.
To make a record of any significant archaeological remains revealed during
the course of any operations that may disturb or destroy archaeological
remains.
In particular:
To record any evidence relating to the known Saxon and medieval remains. The former Recreation Rooms in The Bulllcroft,
Wallingford were built in 1941 with funding from J.R. Upson, a local
businessman, to be used by the armed forces for the duration of the Second World War.
The structure is a prefabricated timber framed building, with three blocks arranged in a
H-plan. The blocks contained recreational and dining facilities, as demonstrated by
extant features that include a brick fireplace and a kitchen and larder. After the war the
building was given to the community of Wallingford, being used as a nursery in the
post-war period. During this period the building was subject to subdivision and
alteration, including the insertion of external doors and internal partitions and ceilings. |
