Report 11/03

Introduction

This report documents the results of an archaeological field evaluation carried out at the Former Hatcham

Liberal Club, 367–9 Queen’s Road, New Cross, London Borough of Lewisham ( TQ 3566 7685) (Fig. 1). The work was commissioned by Mr Kalpesh Ladwa of Reis Construct, 103 Union Street, London SE1 0LA.

Planning permission and listed building consent (DC/10/75383) have been granted by the London Borough of Lewisham for the demolition of the existing buildings at the rear of 367–9 Queen’s Road SE14 and the construction of a new building together with alterations to the upper part of the existing Hatcham Liberal Club.

The consent is subjected to a condition (1) relating to archaeology

This is in accordance with the Department for Communities and Local Government’s Planning Policy

Statement, Planning for the Historic Environment (PPS5 2010), the Town and Country Planning Act (1990)and the Borough Council’s policies on archaeology. The field investigation was carried out to a specification approved by Mr Mark Stevenson, Archaeological Adviser, London Region of English Heritage, the Borough

Council’s archaeological advisers. The fieldwork was undertaken by Andrew Weale, James Earley and Tim

Dawson between 3rd and 11th of February 2011 and the site code is HLC11. The archive is presently held at

Thames Valley Archaeological Services, Reading and will be deposited at The Museum of London in due course with accession code HLC11. The TVAS project number is 11/03.

Location, topography and geology

The site is located within New Cross Gate (the ancient manor of Hatcham) on the north side of Queen’s Road

(Fig. 1). To the north of the site is the New Cross Road (A2) which was the main road from Dover and Kent to

London via London Bridge. Some 2km to the east of the site is Greenwich, 0.5km beyond the Ravensbourne

River which enters the River Thames to the north-east. The site is currently occupied by the former Hatcham

Liberal Club buildings which are in the process of renovation with some demolition of modern buildings, and is surrounded to the north, east and west by residential development (Fig. 2). The site is generally flat at around 6m above Ordnance Datum with steps across it from former building footprints. The underlying geology is shown as

1 River Brickearth overlying Cretaceous Upper Chalk (BGS 1981) close to the junction with Woolwich and

Reading Beds; a silty clay with gravel (Brickearth) was observed in all the trenches.

Archaeological background

The site lies within an archaeological priority area defined in the Borough Unitary Development Plan, which is centred on the historic core of New Cross Gate (Hatcham). Hatcham is first mentioned in Domesday Book of

AD1086 (Williams and Martin 2002) as a very insignificant manor with land for three ploughs, nine villans, two bordars, 6 acres of meadow and woodland for 3 pigs. The name ‘Hatcham’ is Anglo-Saxon in origin and could mean ‘Hacci’s Village’ or the ‘village in the clearing in the woods’ (Lewisham 2006). The moated manor house is thought to have occupied a site to the north-east of the site and developed into Hatcham Park. The course of

Watling Street Roman road is thought to be to the north of the site, other recorded finds in the immediate area are few in number (MoLAS 2000), however a post-medieval brick kiln was recorded to the east on New Cross

Road.

A search of the Greater London Historic Environment Record (GLHER) for a 400m radius centred on the site was consulted. Only 6 entries were recorded within the search radius. Three of these were for archaeological interventions (watching briefs), but apart from 19th- and 20th-century services and foundations, no archaeological deposits were recorded. The other three entries were all for desk based assessments. The Liberal

Club building itself (Pl 1) and Nos. 371-373 Queen’s Road are listed buildings.

Cartographic and documentary sources

Domesday Book lists the manor of Hatcham as belonging to the Bishop of Bayeux but held from the Bishop by the Bishop of Lisieux (Williams and Martin 2002, 75). Henry II granted land at Hatcham to Gilbert de Hatcham who built a moated manor house in the area which later evolved into Hatcham Park. The manor house and its environs were brought by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers in 1614, to provide an endowment for

William Jones’s school and almshouses in Monmouth. Jones was a successful haberdasher and merchant who left a large fortune to maintain his charitable foundations. Hatcham Park was leased for a time in the 17th century to Thomas Pepys, a cousin of Samuel. The Haberdashers set about a programme of urbanization which saw buildings erected along New Cross and Queen’s Roads with the creation of new housing estates and roads in the surrounding area with Hatcham Park itself being demolished and built on by 1869.

2 A range of historical and Ordnance Survey maps were consulted, as was the London Borough of Lewisham’s

Hatcham conservation area character appraisal (LBL 2006) in order to ascertain what activity has taken place throughout the site’s later history.

The first map to show the area in any detail is the Haberdashers’ map of 1619 which clearly shows New

Cross Road (London Waye to Detford) and Queen’s Road (The Waye from Peckham to Detford). The area of

Hatcham is mostly shown as agricultural land with a large area of woodland to the south. The manor house of

Hatcham is shown together with a few other buildings. The area of the site is shown as a large field of agricultural land with no buildings within it.

John Rocque’s map of 1745 shows the area shows Hatcham still principally agricultural with some development along New Cross Road to the north and east of the site. The Five Bells public house is shown to the north of the site and the manor house together with its gardens can be seen to the north-east. The New Cross

Turnpike (built 1718) is also shown and the name New Cross Gate comes from the site of the toll gate. The site is shown again as a field which appears to have been subdivided since the Haberdashers’ map. There are no buildings shown within the area of the site.

A map of 1835 shows more development along New Cross Road to the north of the site together with the creation of Pomeroy Street and Kender Street to the west of the site and Five Bell Lane (now Hatcham Park

Road) to the north-east. The Grand Surrey Canal, The Croydon Canal and the railway to New Cross are also shown. Buildings are shown for the first time to the west of the site at the junction of Queen’s Road and Kender

Street, as well as in the general area of the site.

The First Edition Ordnance Survey map (Fig. 3) published in 1873 from an earlier survey, shows the process of urbanization continuing with the infilling of the area boarded by Pomeroy Street to the west, New

Cross Road to the north and Queen’s Road to the south with housing and industrial buildings. Further development has taken place to the south-west of the site and north-east between Hatcham Park Road and New

Cross Road. The railway has greatly expanded with the construction of carriage and engine sheds and a large workshop. Hatcham Park is still shown on this map although it was demolished in 1869. The area to the south and east of Queen’s and New Cross Roads is still undeveloped and occupied by four large properties (from west to east) Manor Farm, Hatcham Grove House, an unnamed property (later Fair Lawn) and Portland House. The site is shown as being occupied by a semi-detached property similar in size to 371-373 Queen’s Road next door to the east, but on a slightly different alignment to them. To the west is a terrace of three properties. The rear of the site is shown as gardens with trees.

3 The Second Edition Ordnance Survey map published 1896 (Fig. 4) shows the continuing process of urban growth, with the site of Hatcham Park and the remaining open spaces north of New Cross Road completely built up with housing. The site of two of the four large proprieties to the south of Queen’s and New Cross Roads

(Manor Farm and Hatcham Grove house) have been replaced by new housing along Waller, Erlanger, Pepys and

Musgrove (now Sherwin) Roads. Fair Lawn and Portland House still exist, with Aske’s Hatcham School (Girls) to the east of Portland House. Portland House is shown on this map as the site of the Liberal Club. The railway has again expanded with another series of sidings and buildings to the west of the station. A tram-line is shown along both New Cross Road and Queen’s Road. The site is shown as still being occupied by a semi-detached property with gardens behind. The rear garden of 373 Queen’s Road appears to having been subdivided.

The Ordnance Survey map published in 1916 (Fig. 5) shows the last open spaces in the area infilled with housing and industrial buildings. Fair Lawn to the east of the site has been demolished and a Tramway Depot

(now a bus station) has been built in its place. Portland House to the east of Fair Lawn has also been demolished and Troutbeck Road built, with an extension to Musgrove Road. The semi-detached property on the site has also been demolished and a single building has replaced it extending across the whole of the site and previous gardens. The frontage of this building appears to be of the same orientation as the present building but without the addition of the hall entrance to the eastern side of the current building against 371 Queen’s Road. It seems to have a conservatory attached on the east side It is also substantially larger than the current building, extending further to the rear. It is referred to on this map as club. Nos 371–3 Queen’s Road remain the same as the 1896 map.

Objectives and methodology

The purpose of the evaluation was to provide information to determine the date, nature, extent, and state of preservation of any archaeological deposits within the area of the proposed redevelopment.

The specific research aims of the project are:

to determine if archaeologically relevant levels have survived on this site;

to determine if archaeological deposits of any period are present;

to determine if any deposits of Late Saxon, medieval or early post-medieval dates are present on

the site associated with Hatcham Manor; and

to provide information in order to draw up an appropriate mitigation strategy if required.

4 The field evaluation was intended to comprise three trenches 1.6m wide and 15m long. The trenches were excavated by a small 360º tracked machine fitted with a toothless ditching bucket. A contingency of 15 sq m of trenching was included if required to clarify finds made within the trenches. Tarmac, concrete and compact made ground were to be removed with a concrete breaker and toothed bucket. The trenches were to be cleaned using appropriate hand tools should any deposits of certain or possible archaeological significance be exposed. These features would be planned and sufficient features hand excavated to satisfy the aims of the project. The trenches will be dug to expose the full depth of deposits above the natural geology. The trenches may need to be stepped, battered or shored to facilitate safe access.

Results

Due to the presence on site of buildings partially demolished and in an unstable condition, the length and position of the trenches had to be altered slightly from that originally intended (Fig. 6). Trench 3 was subdivided into Trenches 3a and 3b due to the presence on that part of the site of a concrete base over 0.65m thick which could not be broken out. The trenches varied from 10.60m to 15m long and in depth from 1.90m to 2.04m. All the changes were agreed with Mr Stevenson of English Heritage. A metal detector was employed to enhance the collection of metallic finds, with negative results. The trenches were shored to allow safe access. Victorian and modern finds (mainly building materials) were retained on site.

A complete list of trenches giving lengths, breadths, depths and a description of sections and geology is given in Appendix 1 and the features identified are listed in Appendix 2.

Trench 1 (Figs 7 and 8)

Trench 1 was aligned south to north, 10.60m long, 1.6m wide and a maximum of 2.04m deep. The stratigraphy

(Fig. 8 and Pl. 3) consisted of a reinforced concrete floor slab (51) 0.18m thick, above a layer of made ground

(52) consisting of loose dark grey silty sand with very frequent brick and concrete rubble up to 0.08m thick.

Beneath 52 was a layer of clean yellow sand (53), 0.17m thick, sitting on top of plywood (54), 0.03m thick.

Below the plywood was a layer of mixed grey/brown/black silty sand made ground (55) containing clinker, brick, iron pipe and mortar (not collected) 0.05m thick. Layer 55 was above a layer of mixed grey/brown sandy silt made ground (56) with brick, clinker and mortar (not collected) 0.15m thick. Beneath 56 was a layer of dark grey to black silty sand (57) that contained rounded pebbles and iron nails (not collected) 0.20m thick. Beneath

57 was 58, a light grey concrete slab (possibly a floor) running the whole length of the trench, 0.10m thick

5 Concrete slab 58 was set on a layer of mixed red brown/dark brown sand with rounded pebbles, mortar and coal

(59), 0.20m thick. Layer 59 contained a sherd of bone china dated from the 19th century, and a fragment of clay tobacco pipe.

Beneath 59 was a layer of mixed dark grey/dark brown silty sand (60) with rounded pebbles and charcoal

0.24m thick, above a layer of light grey concrete slab (61), possibly another floor surface, 0.06m thick. Layer 60 contained a sherd of glazed red stoneware dated to the late 18th century and a fragment of clay pipe. Beneath slab 61 was a 0.36m thick layer of dark brown silty sand (62), possibly a buried topsoil, containing three sherds of pottery dated to the 18th-19th centuries and three fragments of clay pipe stem, chalk and rounded pebbles.

Layer 62 was above a layer of red brown silty sand (63) containing rounded pebbles (possibly buried subsoil).

Beneath 63 was pit 1

Pit 1 (Figs 7 and 8) was 6.45m from the south end of the trench, circular in plan, 0.40m in diameter with moderately sloping sides and a concave base 0.08m deep. Pit 1 was filled with (50) mixed red brown/dark grey silty sand which contained 1 fragment of brick or tile. Pit 1 was 100% excavated for further artefact retrieval, without success. Pit 1 was cut into red brown silty clay with occasional gravel (natural Brickearth).

Trench 2 (Figs 7 and 8; Pl. 2)

Trench 2 was aligned roughly WSW to ENE 12.20m long, 1.6m wide and a maximum of 2.05m deep. The upper stratigraphy within Trench 2 was similar to Trench 1: a concrete slab (67) 0.17m thick was set on a layer of loose brick and concrete rubble (68) 0.07m thick, which overlay a layer of mixed yellow/brown clayey sand (69) with rounded pebbles and mortar 0.16m thick. Beneath 69 was a layer of mixed grey/brown clayey sand (70) with mortar 0.09m thick, and beneath this was a 0.12m thick layer of mid to dark grey silty sand (71) containing slate, coal, chalk and CBM (not collected). This lay above a layer of mixed grey/brown sandy clay (72) containing mortar, mortared flint nodules and charcoal 0.12m thick Beneath 72 was a layer of mid to dark grey silty clay

(73) containing charcoal, rounded pebbles and mortar, 0.07m thick. This sat above 0.32m depth of dark brown to black clayey silt (74) containing chalk, brick/tile flecks, charcoal, slate and rounded pebbles (not collected).

Beneath layer 74 were structure (64) and wall (90).

Structure 64 consisted of foundation cut (2) 0.40m deep, aligned roughly south to north, the full width of the trench, with vertical sides and a flat base. Foundation cut 2 was filled with foundation 65 a light grey hard concrete 0.40m thick, surmounted by wall 66, which was made up of seven courses of yellow frogged bricks.

The bricks were 210mm by 110mm by 70mm with a light white yellow hard sandy mortar, set in a header-on-

6 stretcher bond, with three courses stepped out at the base. The whole wall was 0.74m in height. Between wall 66 and the western end of the trench was a light grey hard concrete floor (77).

Wall 90 was on a similar alignment and of the same construction as wall (66) consisting of identical frogged yellow bricks in a header-on-stretcher bond. The whole of wall 90 was not seen due to the presence of concrete services surrounding it.

Foundation 2 was cut into dark brown silty sand (75), possibly a buried topsoil, 0.45m thick, containing a sherd of 19th-century pottery, chalk and rounded pebbles. Layer 75 was similar to if not the same as layer 62 in

Trench 1, and similarly overlay a .041m thick layer of red brown silty sand (76) containing rounded pebbles probably the same buried subsoil as layer 63 in Trench 1. Beneath layer 76 was red brown silty clay with occasional gravel (natural Brickearth).

Trench 3a (Fig. 7)

Trench 3a was aligned south-east to north-west, was 3.50m long, 1.60m wide and a maximum of 0.55m deep.

The stratigraphy at the north-west end of Trench 3A consisted of a concrete slab 0.17m thick (91) on a solid concrete base extending 1.78m southwards. Beneath 91 was a layer of unconsolidated brick and concrete rubble

(92) together with sand and mortar 0.37m thick, overlying firm dark grey to black silty sand (93) with modern building materials, slate and lime mortar. Cutting though 93 was a live foul water service placed diagonally across the trench making further investigation impossible.

Trench 3b (Figs. 7 and 9, Pl. 4)

Trench 3b was aligned SSE–NNW, was 3.50m long, 1.60m wide and a maximum of 0.55m deep. The stratigraphy within Trench 3b consisted of the concrete slab (78) 0.17m thick set on a 0.37m thick layer of unconsolidated brick and concrete rubble (79) together with sand and mortar. Beneath 79 was a layer of loose mixed light grey/yellow sand (80) containing mortar, ceramic building material, coal, slate and charcoal. Layer

80 overlay 0.31m depth of firm dark grey to black silty sand (81) with brick/tile, slate and lime mortar.

Beneath 80 was Structure 85, which consisted of foundation cut 3 and wall 86. Cut 3 was aligned roughly south to north, 1. 4m long to a slight bend, to SSW to NNE, 1m long and a return to SSE to NNW forming the edge of the trench 0.80m long. Within foundation cut 3 was wall 86 which was made from red frogged bricks

220mm by 110mm by 70mm, with a pale grey to white lime mortar. Wall 86 survived as 4 courses within the trench and a further 4 courses visible in the section. Foundation 3 had been cut into a 0.30m thick layer of

7 probably buried topsoil, as in the other trenches, being dark brown silty sand (82) containing one fragment of clay tobacco pipe stem, charcoal, chalk fragments and pebbles. Beneath 82 was the mixed red brown silty sand with pebbles (the same buried subsoil as in Trenches 1 and 2), 0.31m thick. Beneath 83 was the red brown silty clay with occasional gravel natural (Brickearth).

Finds

Pottery by Andrew Weale

A small assemblage of just six sherds with a total weight of 109g was recovered from four deposits (Appendix

3). The pottery was classified using the Museum of London post-medieval pottery codes (MoLSS 2001). Two sherds were from layers 59 and 60 which consisted of a single body sherd of Refined bone china (BONE) and rim sherd of glazed red stone ware (RESTG). The other 4 sherds came from the buried topsoils (62 and 75) in

Trenches 1 and 2. Of these the one sherd from deposit 75 in Trench 2 was a very abraded sherd of Creamware

(CREA). Other the 3 sherds from deposit (62) in Trench 1, two were from the rims of plates in overglaze transfer-printed decoration in blue on a Creamware (CREA OTR), and the last was the possibly a stopper in blue-painted decoration Creamware (CREA BW): around the top of the stopper is an inscription the majority of which was illegible however the word Lambeth can be made out. The majority of these sherds can only be broadly dated from around AD1750–1880, the glazed red stone ware has a narrower date range for manufacture of 1760–80 (but of course could be deposited much later).

Clay tobacco pipe by Andrew Weale

A small assemblage of 5 pieces of clay pipe with a total weight of 12g was recovered from 4 deposits (Appendix

4). All of the pieces of clay pipe were stem fragments with no bowls or mouth pieces present. None of the fragments were closely dateable however a date of 1830 to 1880 would seem likely based on bore diameter.

Ceramic building material by Andrew Weale

A single piece of ceramic building material was retained from deposit 50, the fill of pit 1, with a weight of 18g.

The fragment has no intact surfaces and could be either brick or tile.

8 Conclusion

The evaluation only revealed one subsoil feature of possible archaeological interest, that of a small pit 1 in

Trench 1. This feature contained a single fragment of ceramic building material, that is not well dated by likely

to be of later post-medieval date.

The remaining deposits comprised a complex series of 19th and 20th century structural remains. The

layers and concrete floors within Trenches 1 and 3b may be due to the build up across the site from successive

building periods on the site. The walls and concrete floor within Trench 2 appear to be of a similar construction

to the Liberal Club building. Wall 64 appears to line up well with the projected east wall of the building and

should represent the rear of the original club, while wall 90 could easily be the east edge of the ?conservatory,

both shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1916 The wall in Trench 3b did not match any of the buildings

shown from the Ordnance Survey maps; however its construction without a concrete foundation, and its

curvature, may suggest an earlier building or more likely a garden wall.

The presence of a buried topsoil across the site with pottery from the 19th century with a subsoil horizon

beneath it would suggest that if archaeology existed on the site it would have been well preserved but as only

one undated but probably post-medieval feature was discovered, the archaeological potential would appear to be

low.

From the search of the historic maps it would appear that the Hatcham Liberal Club was not built on this

site at its foundation of 1880 as might be assumed from the inscription shown above its doorway of 1880. The

Second Edition Ordnance Survey Map of 1896 shows a liberal club some distance to the east, in the grounds of

Portland House, and it would appear that it only moved to Queen’s Road between the survey for the 1896 map

and the survey for the 1916 map. Thus the 1880 establishment date seems to be for the club as institution not the

building itself (as assumed by the listing information and the conservation area assessment): it is conceivable

that the architect was deliberately echoing the feel of an 1880s building in this design.
