20 Ropemaker Street Archaeology Desk Based Assessment 20 Ropemaker Street Archaeology Desk Based Assessment August 2017 20 ROPEMAKER STREET, 101-117 (odd nos) FINSBURY PAVEMENT and 10-12 FINSBURY STREET LONDON EC2 LB ISLINGTON ARCHAEOLOGICAL DESK-BASED ASSESSMENT Prepared for Manford Properties (BVI) Ltd and Great Elm Assets Ltd Mills Whipp Projects 40, Bowling Green Lane London EC1R 0NE 020 7415 7000 [email protected] June 2017 20 Ropemaker Street, 101-117 (odd nos) Finsbury Pavement and 10-12 Finsbury Street EC2 Summary The purpose of this report is to identify the archaeological potential of deposits on a Site at 20 Ropemaker Street, 101-117 (odd nos) Finsbury Pavement and 10-12 Finsbury Street EC2 in LB Islington and consider the scheme’s likely impact on them. The Site is centred on TQ 3275 8180 and is c. 33,000 sq m (Fig. 1). During the preparation of this report the Greater London Historic Environment Record (HER) was consulted for an area of 250m radius centred on the Proposed Development (Historic England report No. 12269) (Fig. 2). The Site but does not contain any Scheduled Ancient Monuments and does not lie within a Designated Archaeological Area as defined in Scheduled Ancient Monuments & Archaeological Areas Act 1979. The research indicates that there is a low potential for significant prehistoric archaeology on the Site. In the Roman period the area close to the north of the city wall was used as a burial ground c.100m south-east of the Site. Later in the Roman period the Moorfields marsh began to form, possibly due to the Walbrook becoming partially blocked. The subsequent marsh deposited alluvium over the Roman land surface. The potential for significant Roman archaeology on the Site is considered to be low given its location away from the burial grounds and beyond the city wall. During the mediaeval period the Site occupied the now fully formed Moorfields marsh. Following attempts to drain the area it was used for pasture. In the 13th century the manor house ‘Finsbury Court’ was built the main buildings lying north of the Site. The Site lay in the southern part of the manor precinct and was occupied by a garden with a small building adjacent to Finsbury Pavement. In the 18th century the Site was developed. On its western side a Chapel was built, possibly with a burial ground and further north the Site was occupied by a distillery. A major redevelopment of the Site took place in 1950s and again in the 1970s. Most of the Site has existing basements and in some areas double depth basements although the north- west corner of the Site has no basement. Archaeological survival is generally considered to be poor. The buildings on the Site are fully occupied no archaeological evaluation will be possible until vacant possession in 2019. The Proposed Development is described as: “Demolition and redevelopment of existing buildings to provide a 27 storey, plus 3 basement levels, building with office use (Class B1) at all basement levels, ground, and upper floors, and flexible retail uses (Class A1/A2/A3) at part lower ground and ground floor levels, along with associated landscaping and works.” Excavations undertaken in 1978 have provided enough data for the potential of the Site to be assessed. It is extremely unlikely that there are heritage assets of national or regional significance on the Site. Heritage assets of local interest may be present. The Site is within an Archaeological Priority Area as defined by LB Islington. It is policy for planning applications in APAs to be accompanied by an “assessment”. It is proposed that this report fulfils the needs of the planning authority. It is suggested that the archaeological aspects of the development can be secured by means of conditions attached to the planning permission. 20 ROPEMAKER STREET, 101-117 (odd nos) FINSBURY PAVEMENT and 10-12 FINSBURY STREET LONDON EC2 ARCHAEOLOGICAL DESK-BASED ASSESSMENT Contents 1.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Mills Whipp Projects has been commissioned by Manford Properties (BVI) Ltd and Great Elm Assets Ltd to prepare an archaeological desk-based assessment of Site at 20 Ropemaker Street and 101-117 Finsbury Pavement (Fig.1). 1.2 The Site is centred on TQ 3275 8180 on the western side of Finsbury Pavement at the junction with Ropemaker Street. It lies within an Archaeological Priority Area as defined by LB Islington advised by the Greater London Archaeological Advisory Service (GLAAS), part of Historic England. 1.3 The Greater London Historic Environment Record (HER) has been consulted for an area 250m radius centred on the Site with relevant data drawn from a wider area (GLHER Report 12269). The chief cartographic sources have been used and a selection of these is appended as figures. Printed primary and secondary sources for the history of the area have been employed, and research undertaken in the London Metropolitan Archive and London Library. 1.4 The Site slopes down from north-east to south-west possibly reflecting the historical topography of the area. It is currently occupied by 1970s office blocks with single and double depth basements. There is no basement in the north-west corner of the Site but modern foundations are present. 1.5 Before the construction of the existing building an archaeological investigation was undertaken. This demonstrated that the Site at that time had undergone extensive truncation in the 1950s and no significant archaeological deposits are likely to be present in the basemented part of the Site. 1.6 A Site inspection was carried out by Mills Whipp Projects on 12th April 2017 and the London Archaeological Archive Centre was consulted on 15th June 2017. 1.7 Dates used in this report: Palaeolithic c 700,000–8,000 BC Mesolithic c 8,000–4000 BC Neolithic c 4000–2000 BC Bronze Age c 2000–600 BC Iron Age c 600 BC–43 AD Roman 43–410 Saxon 410–c 1000 Mediaeval c 1000–1500 Post mediaeval–modern (1500–present) Ropemaker DBA v6 2. GEOLOGY and TOPOGRAPHY 2.1 The Site lies on the on the northern side of the River Thames on the upper part of the valley side. In this area the geology consists progressively of older Pleistocene and Eocene beds outcropping down the riverbank. Basal geology is composed of London Clay buried beneath drift deposits formed of Pleistocene (Quaternary) fluvial sediments deposited by the early River Thames (British Geological Survey, 1:50 000 Series, sheet 256). These deposits are arranged in flights or gravel terraces representing the remains of former Thames floodplains, the highest (most northerly) being the oldest with each terrace becoming progressively younger down the valley side. 2.2 Deposit modelling by the British Geological Survey (BGS) specifies two gravel terraces within this part of southwest Islington. The older Hackney Gravel lies on the northern side of the Site while the younger Taplow Gravel lies beneath the Site. Discrete areas of both gravels are shown capped by a sandy silt brickearth (Langley Silt) which formed in the Late Devensian stage (32,000-10,000BC). It is considered to be a combination of loess and water lain sediments and was an important source of building material in London in all periods. That closest to the Site is shown to lie approximately 400m to the west. Just west of the Site the survey indicates that the gravel gives way allowing the basal London Clay beneath to outcrop in two relatively small areas. 2.3 Archaeological interventions within the study area have been used to refine the BGS model. Excavations on the Site (site code: FINP78) recorded the highest brickearth at 11.46m OD and the highest gravel at 9.41m OD. In addition, a palaeo-channel was recorded to a depth of 9.26m OD. Excavations at 127-139 Finsbury Pavement in 1996 just north of the Site (site code: FIS96) recorded brickearth at 12.28m OD and Taplow Gravel at 11.33m OD (MoLA, 2009, 11). Brickearth was also recorded in 1998 on the other side of Finsbury Pavement at 50 Finsbury Square (site code: FSQ98). It lay at 11.73m OD but was truncated so it too is likely to have originally lain at over 12m OD (MoLA, 2009, 19). It capped the Taplow Gravel. These interventions show that in the immediate vicinity of the Site the Taplow Gravel has a brickearth cap which lies at an elevation of over 12m OD. 2.4 Further north the older Hackney Gravel was recorded during several archaeological excavations. At 25-32 Chiswell Street, approximately 120m to the north-west it was recorded at 14.40m OD (site code: CSU96) (MoLA, 2009, 26). At Bunhill Row, approximately 400m north of the Site, the gravel was recorded at 16.50m OD capped with brickearth at 17.10m OD (site code: BRV98).

    Final Report 61 5. The Potential Environmental Impacts of Climate Change in London 5.1 Introduction There are several approaches to climate change impact assessment. These include: extrapolating findings from existing literature; fully quantitative, model-based simulations of the system(s) of interest; or eliciting the opinions of experts and stakeholders. All three approaches will be implemented in this section by a) reviewing the formal literature where appropriate, b) undertaking exemplar impacts modelling for specific issues identified through c) dialogue with stakeholders. Two workshops were held in May 2002 in order to engage expert and stakeholder opinion regarding the most pressing potential climate change impacts facing London. Following stakeholder consultation, five environmental areas were highlighted: 1) urban heat island effects (including London Underground temperatures); 2) air quality; 3) water resources ; 4) tidal and riverine flood risk and 5) biodiversity. Although these are addressed in turn – and where appropriate, case studies have been included – it is also acknowledged that many of these are cross-cutting (for example, river water quality impacts relate to flood risk, water resources and biodiversity). The final section delivers a summary of the most significant environmental impacts of climate change for London. Policy responses are addressed elsewhere. 5.2 Higher Temperatures 5.2.1 Context Throughout this section the reader is invited to refer to the downscaling case study provided in Section 4.7). Heat waves may increase in frequency and severity in a warmer world. Urban heat islands exacerbate the effects of heat waves by increasing summer temperatures by several more degrees Celsius relative to rural locations (see Figure 3.2b).

    London Wall & Blomfield Street Utilities Watching Brief Fieldwork Report, XSZ11 C257-MLA-T1-RGN-CRG03-50015 v2 Non technical summary This report presents the results of watching briefs carried out by Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) on cable diversion works on the junction between Blomfield Street and London Wall, and a trial hole for the insertion of monitoring equipment outside 41/42 London Wall, both in the City of London, EC2. The utilities work was undertaken by UK Power Networks (UKPN) and the trial hole excavated for Thames Water. This report was commissioned from MOLA by Crossrail Ltd and is being undertaken as part of a wider programme to mitigate the archaeological implications of railway development proposals along the Crossrail route. This report covers a UKPN utilities diversion trench running down the centre of Blomfield Street, turning east on the northern carriageway of London Wall, and a trial trench adjacent to 41/42 London Wall. Given the proximity of the Roman and medieval City Wall, a Scheduled Monument (LO26P), fieldwork was focused around the junction between the two roads, and the immediate vicinity. The trial hole was located approximately 15m east of the junction between Moorgate and London Wall, in the southern carriageway. No archaeologically significant deposits were exposed in the trial hole adjacent to 41/42 London Wall. This archaeological watching brief followed requirement set out in a Scheduled Monument Deed under the Crossrail Act (2008). A further aim was to ensure that the works did not damage the Scheduled Monument, should the City Wall be encountered. The City Wall and associated deposits were left in situ.
