Abstract: |
This was a joint project as part of the Peter Potter Gallery Monument Programme, with support from East Lothian Council. It included the involvement of over 400 people ranging from local school classes and groups, including the Tynepark Centre, the Pink Ladies, the University of the Third Age, the East Lothian Young Archaeologists Club and local volunteers as well as students from Edinburgh and Sheffield Universities. The excavation uncovered a portion of the north eastern side of the wash house, revealing the remains of a stone wall, a poured concrete floor of an early 20th century extension, an exterior cobbled surface, lead piping and later pipe trenches. It was also hoped to find remains of an 18th century house called Nungate Brig-end which belonged to the Preston family and is known to have existed on or near the site before the wash house was built. Although no actual structural remains were discovered, a few shards of 18th century window glass were retrieved. David Connolly 2013 |
