Addyman Archaeology were contracted by Ian Forbes, Architect, on behalf of Signature Pubs Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological work in relation to the proposed renovation and extension of the property located at 4-6 Grassmarket, Edinburgh presently known as ‘The Lot’. The proposed development area is a part of the larger Category B listed building 4-10 Grassmarket which includes the former Robertson Memorial Mission Buildings and adjacent tenement building. The proposed development area consists of the church and adjacent ground-floor shop building. The archaeological mitigation required by the City of Edinburgh Council Archaeology Service therefore included both Historic Building Recording of the standing building and the full archaeological excavation of the land to the rear of the building.
This report describes the Level 2 Historic Building Recording undertaken in April 2017. An external and internal photographic survey was undertaken and historic and existing architects’ plans consulted. Minor alterations and repairs to the south elevation frontage were noted as well as the internal alterations in room use,
layout and circulation patterns.
