Site of possibly 18th century public house, 'The Reindeer', 111 The Street (EHER 82381)

Now destroyed. An 18th or 19th century public house.

NRHE data transfer: July 2013. Building recording. The programme of archaeological work was limited due to the planned works already carried out and the demolition of most of the historic structure. Photographs taken prior to the demolition of the building are consistent with an 18th or early 19th century date for construction although it is not clear if this building represented the mill house for the adjoining mill complex but was likely associated with the complex. The house was converted to a public house prior to 1838 and continued as such until its sale by the Green King Brewery in 2008. The archaeological potential for the site to the rear of the building included an outbuilding visible on historic maps as early as 1838, although at the time of recording a soakaway had already been dug in the area of the structure and it is not known if any historic fabric survived. Monitoring of the clay master trenches and drain runs revealed no evidence for archaeological activity. Information from OASIS Online Form. <1>
