Vine Cottages Excavation

Come along and view the excavations taking place. 

The current site is a small public open space owned and managed by Barnet Council opposite the Greyhound Public House in Greyhound Hill Hendon. It is known that Vine Cottages (3 sperate cottages from 1880s to demolition) existed on the site (we have photos and newspaper cuttings) and was demolished in 1937

The Objectives of our excavation will be to:

1. Establish the phasing, uses, occupation and development of Vines Cottages.

2. Establish likely date of construction of Vines cottages’

3. Establish whether there is evidence of earlier building and uses on this site.

4. Understand the wider context and setting of Vines Cottages drawing on previous historical and excavation work undertaken by the Hendon and District Archaeological Society (HADAS) and others.
