Moorgate Utilities diversions GWB (XSP10), Fieldwork Report C257-MLA-X-RGN-CRG02-50130 v2 Non technical summary This report presents the results of an archaeological watching brief carried out by the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) on the site of the combined utilities diversions (Phases 1 to 5 for the future Crossrail Moorgate shaft, London EC2, in the City of London. This report was commissioned from MOLA by Crossrail Ltd. This work is being undertaken as part of a wider programme of assessment to mitigate the archaeological implications of railway development proposals along the Crossrail route. The utilities diversions for the Moorgate Shaft site (part of Crossrail contract C257 Archaeology Central) consists of utilities diversions centred around the junction of London Wall and Moorgate, running north to Ropemaker Street, as well as two access shafts and a connecting tunnel, and various other shallow excavations situated in the vicinity of Moor House. Archaeologically significant horizons were exposed in the eastern access shaft located on London Wall. Natural geology was not reached, but a series of horizontal deposits, dated by ceramics and tobacco pipes to the 16th–17th centuries, was exposed in section, and are possibly part of the City Ditch, which is known historically to have been located in this area and was in use until at least the 16th-century. In the western access shaft a late 19th-century brick wall survived, although modern truncation linked to post-World War II land clearance and the construction of an underground car park (2005) to the south had caused significant damage. Two trial pits were also monitored in the basements of 8 Moorfields and 87 Moorgate.

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. City landscape, tall buildings, architecture, stunning views, roof gardens In Brief There are so many walking guides to the City of London, showing you the history, the churches, the little lanes, the markets and the older buildings. True to the spirit of this site, this guide is completely different. The City is an extraordinary beehive of construction, with tall buildings shooting up skywards at dizzying speed. The varied architecture of these buildings deserves intense admiration, as with a super-scale array of modern art. The surrounding plazas and walkways are also surprisingly traffic-free and a delight to traverse. Forty years ago the idea of a sky- scraper in London was unheard of, the London clay being so much softer than the rocky underlay of Manhattan. Deep foundations were one way to solve this trivial problem and you will see on this walk several more giants under construction. This walk starts at the oldest skyscraper. It then points out all the sky- scrapers in the City and ends at the tallest one in London, actually in Southwark so not strictly in the City (in fact the tallest in Europe apart from Moscow).
