Abstract:		 A watching brief was undertaken during groundworks associated with redevelopment of the site, formerly a hippodrome, later converted into a theatre. The site contained post-medieval cellars which covered 90% of the site, this would have removed any archaeology in most of the area. Two copper cisterns were recorded with an evidence for an associated pond nearby. These features were interpreted as late 18th/early 19th century industrial features possibly linked with tanning (modern St Thomas Street was known as Tanner Row until the mid 19th century). Post-medieval and modern pottery was also recorded. [AIP]
