Abstract: |
The assessment site was within the area of the Roman colonia. Roman features probably included large masonry structures and perhaps massive walls that supported artificial terraces on which the buildings stood. The character of later activity was less clear, but it was likely that the Skelergate and Fetter Lane street frontages were occupied by the Anglo-Scandinavian period, and that much of the land to the rear was built on during the medieval period. Many of these buildings would have been timber-framed, but some high-status residencies and possibly a hospital might have been built in stone. In the 19th century the area was characterised by workshops, small scale housing and public houses whilst the 20th century had seen the development of large-scale warehouses on the site. [Au(abr)] |
