SURREY ARCHAEOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS
Excavations and Building Recording at 196 High Street, Guildford
MATTHEW ALEXANDER and JULIA ARTHUR
During April 1983 extensive interior refurbishments at 196 High Street, currently 'Pandora', revealed timber framing and part of a later 15th century crown post roof. In addition a scatter of late 13th and early 14th century Surrey White ware vessels and a rubbish pit containing pottery dating from the early 13th century were found approximately eight to nine metres back from the present street frontage. The building was recorded over a number of days by Matthew Alexander, with the help of the Guildford Group and John Baker. Julia Arthur of Guildford Museum and Rob Poulton of the County Archaeological Unit spent one afternoon digging out the pits.
