Abstract: |
Compass Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a Level 2 Historic Building Record and a watching brief on the removal of brick bridge footings in the New River, just north of Myddleton Road, London Borough of Haringey, N22, between the 29th August and the 9th October 2018.The footings were positioned on the eastern and western banks of the river, and both comprised of two sections: one landward and another waterside (below the water level). The landward portion on the eastern bank comprised two upper courses of red brick, below which was a cambered slope down to the river. The waterside section appeared to have been laid in two phases, with an upper and lower block of bricks. The landside section on the western bank comprised a rectangular block of red brick. The waterside masonry on the western bank appeared to comprise a single phase of construction. The bridge was constructed in the late 1850s to carry Lascotts Road over the river after it was rerouted to the current channel. The bridge was aligned NE-SW, echoed in the waterside footings on both banks. No other evidence of the bridge construction or design was made evident during the footing removal or the recording.Several medium and large timbers were encountered though their origin and use cannot be identified. The tapering ends of the majority of the timbers would imply that they were used as fence posts or in the construction of the bridge, rather than as structural elements. |
