Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted for Wellington Construction Ltd during groundworks associated with the construction of new housing at the site of the former Pilot Cinema, John Kennedy Road in King's Lynn, Norfolk. Observation of the piling of foundations for the new housing and the installation of a deep sewer pipe revealed a cross section through the southern bank of the infilled Fisher Fleet, the stratigraphy of deposits dumped to raise the ground level, a glimpse of a possibly late medieval structure and evidence of the 17th/18th-century glassworks on this site. The Fisher Fleet produced a layer of mid-17th-century rubbish, including glass crucible fragments from the glass furnace. The sealing layers were of relatively clean clay, suggesting that these layers were deposited by slow flowing water, perhaps during a major flood in 1671 and possibly also in 1669/70. The retaining wall of the southern bank of the Fisher Fleet was found; this wall may also have been constructed to control flooding and appears to predate the rubbish-rich layer across the plot. No structural evidence for the glass furnace was found, but a large pit full of glass waste and a layer of furnace waste covering almost the whole observed area provide conclusive evidence of the presence of glass manufacturing. Earlier evidence took the form of late medieval pottery, a late medieval brick wall and a layer of well-sorted medieval demolition rubble, used (like the later layer of furnace waste) to raise the ground level. Late 16th-century mapping shows occupation here and maps from the mid to late 17th century depict a 'glass house'.
