Newnham College Library Development, Sidgewick Avenue, Cambridge: An Archaeological Desktop Study

Abstract

This desktop study has been commissioned by the architects John Miller & Partners on behalf of Newnham College, University of Cambridge, to assess the likely archaeological impact of the proposed re-development of part of the Library at Newnham College, Cambridge (TL 44167 57869). The development will demolish part of the early 1960s extension to the Library. This desktop assessment aims to collate and consider the currently available information relating to the archaeology and history of the study area, thus enabling an assessment of the archaeological potential and likely survival of such remains in the area of development.
