Abstract: |
The Study Area for this assessment comprised a 500m buffer surrounding the Proposed Development Area. The assessment has been based on a site visit and a study of all readily available documentary sources, following the CIfA Standards and Guidance. The following sources of information were referred to:
• Designation data from the National Heritage List for England, downloaded from the Historic England website on 31st August 2021 and descriptions of designated heritage assets viewed on the Historic England website;
• Archaeological and architectural records from the National Record of the Historic Environment, viewed through the Heritage Gateway website ;
• Archaeological records held by the Greater London HER (received on the 31st August 2021 under GLHER reference 16520);
• Historic Landscape Characterisation (data received from GLHER on the 31st August 2021 under GLHER reference 16520);
• The British Library Georeferencer, viewed on the 28th August 2021 ;
• Historic maps, plans and photographs held in Ealing Local History Centre (Southall Library);
• The online catalogues of the National Archives and the London Metropolitan Archives;
• Geological data available online from the British Geological Survey ;
• Portable Antiquities Scheme data;
• Modern and historic aerial photographs available on Google Earth Pro;
• Relevant internet sources including the Archaeology Data Service and British History Online;
• Online mapping and databases for WW2 bombing in London, such as www.bombsite.org and Zetica UXO, viewed on September 20th 2021;
• Readily available published sources and unpublished archaeological reports.
The historic Ordnance Survey (OS) mapping sequence corresponding with the PDA was consulted to collect information on former land use and development throughout the later historic periods. Parish mapping and associated apportionment documents were consulted to identify annotated structures and record any field name evidence indicative of archaeological potential. The built-up nature of the PDA and Study Area meant that no meaningful information about the pre-Modern era of the site could be extracted from data of this type, and therefore an assessment of LiDAR data was not carried out The PDA was a meadow and/or farmland until the very late 19th century; the terraced houses of Harewood Terrace was constructed during the 1880s or 1890s. An L-shaped building, a shed, and the most northerly of the terraced houses were erected along the eastern and southern sides of the PDA at this date. The L-shaped building and shed had been demolished by the mid-1930s, but replacement buildings had been built by the mid-1940s. By 1962, at least one of the 1940s buildings had been demolished and new buildings erected within the northern half of the PDA. The terraced houses were demolished and replaced by blocks of flats during the late 1970s/early 1980s. It is thought probable that structural elements of the late Victorian terraced house which once stood within the PDA remain in situ.
Although there are no designated or non-designated heritage assets within the PDA, it lies within an Archaeological Priority Area which may contain remains of Palaeolithic and Early Medieval – Post-Medieval date. Therefore, depending on the depth of development groundworks, Palaeolithic remains may be encountered.
There was concluded to be low potential for Palaeolithic remains, negligible potential for Mesolithic – Romano-British remains, and low potential for Early Medieval - Modern remains to be present within the PDA. Any archaeological remains within the PDA were thought likely to be of Negligible or Low (local) importance and derive their significance from their archaeological and/or historical interest. |
