Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation and level 1 building recording Map evidence suggested that prior to the construction of the Brooke Hotel in the 1920s the site was occupied by small structures likely to be domestic houses, and by ‘Heath Villa’, a large domestic dwelling probably similar to the 19th century ‘merchant houses’ still standing in the Waterloo area to the south.
The building recording found that the Brooke Hotel was constructed during the period 1909–1927: the architectural style suggests a date after WWI (1918). The building had been heavily modified in the late 20th century and retained no significant original internal features.
The trial trenches found limited evidence for the buildings pre-dating the construction of the Brooke Hotel, though an area of insubstantial brick paving in the western trench may relate to Heath Villa or associated outbuildings. Brick foundations in the eastern trench probably relate to the cottages which occupied the site prior to the 1920s. |
