Abstract: |
An archaeological Desk-based Assessment has been carried out at The Former Bridge Inn Car Park, Tanyard Lane, Winchelsea, East Sussex in connection with an application for the building of two detached houses with associated car parking and landscaping. The Desk-based Assessment has established that the site may potentially have been a quayside during the medieval period. It may still have been a space open to the public in 1873, when it is first known to have had a building (probably a small shed) built upon it. The site was part of pasture in 1842 but may subsequently have grown hops prior to 1929, which The Bridge Inn may have used for the 'Cheap Fine Ale' that it advertised. When The Bridge Inn was extended west sometime between 1909 and 1929, the site served the customers as a parking lot and a rear outdoor seating area. The main car park was laid sometime after 1977. Due to the potential archaeological deposits within the site, such as those that may represent the medieval quayside, which are likely to survive beneath an unknown depth of made ground below the car park, this site has a very high archaeological potential. |
