Dyer, M., 1999, Archaeological Observation and Recording at 36-37 Teign Street, Teignmouth (Report - Interim). SDV340932.

Visited 22nd April 1998. Archaeological observation and recording carried out during ground works for sheltered accommodation. Subsequent visits on 12th and 13th May 1998. The site is an enclosed property with a house (Listed Grade II) at the southern end. Entry into the property is from Teign Street via a covered passageway through a building range. The house has been retained but is being extensively renovated. Ranges of buildings, with a narrow passageway between, formerly extended along both sides of the property to the north of the house, but these were demolished for the redevelopment. Excavation of foundation trenches revealed evidence of former range of buildings along east side of property, pits and deposits of waste from industrial activity and a mortared sandstone culvert. Pottery recovered from 17th and 18th centuries, while site of industrial activity produced 19th century pottery.
