Archaeological excavation by MOLA at Watermark Place in the City of
London revealed evidence for the development of the city waterfront
from the 13th century onwards. The remains of substantial and
well-preserved timber river walls and timber/stone dock walls were
recorded, and the use of tree-ring dating enabled the construction
of one large timber river wall and dock to be dated to the year
1339. Many of the recorded structures related to the medieval wharf
known as the Haywharf, probably originally so-named because it was
where hay was imported into the city before c 1300. In common with
other excavations of medieval waterfronts in the City, the
waterlogged deposits associated with the structural remains
produced a remarkable array of finds, including over 700
accessioned finds. Large medieval foundations on the site probably
relate to the mansion known as Coldharbour, which was constructed
on the site by the early 14th century. Later remains included a
sequence of 15th- to 16th-century industrial stone hearths or
furnaces, and documentary evidence suggests that it is likely these
were associated with either brewing or dyeing on the site. Also
recorded were structures associated with the Calvert's/City of
London brewery, which stood on the site from the 18th century until
it was bombed during World War II.
