49-50 Eagle Wharf Road, London, N1 7ED Archaeological Assessment Howe Malcolm Archaeology & Planning Ltd 49-50 Eagle Wharf Road, London, N1 7ED Archaeological Assessment Howe Malcolm Archaeology & Planning Ltd July 2015 49-50 Eagle Wharf Road, London N1 7ED Archaeological Assessment July 2015 Howe Malcolm Archaeology & Planning Ltd Telephone: 01768 898277 Email: [email protected] Registered in England number 7381965 Registered Office: Clint Mill, Cornmarket, Penrith, CA11 7HW 49-50 Eagle Wharf Road, London, N1 7ED Archaeological Assessment Howe Malcolm Archaeology & Planning Ltd Executive Summary This report assesses the significance of any archaeological heritage assets that may potentially be impacted by development proposals at 49-50 Eagle Wharf Road, in the London Borough of Hackney. It identifies the evidential base from previous archaeological investigations, chance finds in the area and documentary sources; the aesthetic, historic, communal and associative significance of the archaeology assets are also discussed and an overall view of their significance in relation to planning policy is derived. The site is currently occupied by buildings of one to three storeys across most of the site. There is a small courtyard area. The buildings were constructed in the late 19th century. The whole site is within the Regent’s Canal Conservation Area. Note that this report concentrates on an assessment of the below ground archaeological potential for the site; the assessment of the architectural interest and the setting of the historic building are considered in a separate Heritage Statement (Montagu Evans 2015). The site does not lie within an Area of Archaeological Priority as defined by the London Borough of Hackney. For most of its history the site has been located within a rural landscape away from settlements. There is no evidence for activity in the area until the early 19th century. Development only occurred after the construction of the Regent’s Canal in 1816-20. No archaeological finds or remains have been recorded within the vicinity of the site. Archaeological investigations at other sites in the area have generally revealed very little and have demonstrated that the site lies in an area of very low archaeological potential. The development proposals comprise the partial demolition of buildings on the site with retention of one 3-storey building and the chimney, and redevelopment to provide a mixed use scheme. The proposals include a basemented building fronting Eagle Wharf Road and to the eastern side of the application site. The potential for the presence and survival of any archaeological remains of significance at the site is considered to be negligible and in consideration of this no further work is proposed as being a proportionate response with regard to buried archaeology at the site. The decision with regard to the mitigation deemed appropriate rests with the London Borough of Hackney as advised by the Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service, a part of English Heritage.

  • London Assembly Investigation Into Waterway Moorings
    c/- Ridgeways Wharf, Brent Way, Brentford, TW8 8ES Chairman: Nigel Moore Matt Bailey Project Officer London Assembly City Hall The Queen’s Walk London, SE1 2AA Re: LONDON ASSEMBLY INVESTIGATION INTO WATERWAY MOORINGS WHO WE ARE 1. The Brentford Waterside Forum has been in operation for over 25 years, involving itself in all matters of waterside importance in the area, conducting dialogue with both developers and Hounslow Council. 2. Organisations represented on the Forum include: The Butts Society; Inland Waterways Association; The Hollows Association; MSO Marine; Brentford Dock Residents Association; Brentford Community Council; Brentford Marine Services; Holland Gardens Residents Community; Weydock Ltd; Thames & Waterways Stakeholders Forum; Sailing Barge Research; The Island Residents Group; Ferry Quays Residents Association 3. The Forum's Core Values and Objectives are stated as follows: "The rediscovery of the Waterside in Brentford is putting intense pressure on the water front. There is growing competition for access to the river and canal sides; pressure is mounting to create new economic activities and provide residential development on the waters edge. These pressures jeopardise both existing businesses and the right of Brentford people to access the water, which is part of their heritage. Access to the waterside in Brentford is made possible by the changing economic and commercial use of the water. 4. The role of the Waterside Forum is: to provide informed comment on proposed developments or changes. Brentford Waterside Forum will work with and through agencies to achieve the following: — A strategic context for waterside decision making. — To protect access to the waterside, its infrastructure and the water itself for people to use for recreation, enjoyment and business, emphasising business that need a waterside location to be successful.

  • The Jubilee Greenway. Section 3 of 10
    Transport for London. The Jubilee Greenway. Section 3 of 10. Camden Lock to Victoria Park. Section start: Camden Lock. Nearest stations Camden Town , Camden Road . to start: Section finish: Victoria Park - Canal Gate. Nearest stations Cambridge Heath or Bethnal Green . to finish: Section distance: 4.7 miles (7.6 kilometres). Introduction. Section three is a satisfying stretch along the Regent's Canal, from famous Camden Lock to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. This section highlights the contrasts of a living, growing capital, meandering between old districts and new developments, each with their own unique style and atmosphere. This section of the route takes the walker through Camden Town, Islington, Hackney and Bethnal Green, leading finally to Victoria Park. This provides a fascinating look at how London is changing; passing many new developments and constructions, while savouring the atmosphere of the canal. In some ways the towpath side has changed little, whereas the south side of the canal has developed a great deal. For walkers interested in the history of London's canals you will pass near the London Canal Museum on this section. Look out for the Jubilee Greenway discs in the pavement as you go round. Continues below Directions. To start section three from section two, continue along the towpath past Camden Lock Market. Cyclists have to dismount through the market area here. Coming from Camden Town station, turn left, cross over the road and the bridge to find the towpath on the north side of the canal. Once on the canal towpath, pass rows of Vespa Scooters used as cafe seats and a large bronze lion, as well as many food stalls.
