Summary
Non-technical Summary Wessex Archaeology (London) was commissioned by Inforum Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief on the removal of the petrol holding tanks at 128-136 High Street, Plaistow, E13 in the London Borough of Newham centred on NGR 540590 183070 (the Site). The works were commissioned as part of the determination of a planning application to redevelop the Site for residential development. Observations on the removal of the petrol holding tanks showed the remains of the external wall at the frontage of the original late 19th century terrace houses with the backfilled cellars, no other archaeological finds or deposits were noted. The report concludes that archaeological deposits do not exist on the Site; any remains which may have been present w have been truncated by the construction of the petrol holding tanks across the whole Site. 1 128-136 HIGH STREET, PLAISTOW, E13 LONDON BOROUGH OF NEWHAM ARCHAEOLOGICAL WATCHING BRIEF REPORT-----------------------------
