Abstract:
In 1974 a sewer trench, some 16ft. (5m.) deep, crossed The Street, Bramber, 105ft. (32m.) east of the fifteenth century timbered house known as St. Mary's, striking the foundation of one of the piers of Bramber's medieval stone bridge. Timber piles, some 9½ to 11ft. (2.9-3.4m.) below the surface, were encountered both north and south of the pier (Figs. 1 and 2). Recording was difficult owing to the dangerous nature of the subsoil, which required sheet piling, thus exposures of trench faces were rarely seen. The writer recorded the bridge pier and those wooden piles drawn in solid black (Fig. 2), whereas the piles shown in dotted outline were discovered when he was not at the site. However, the watchfulness of the Site Engineer, Clerk of Works, or Agent, enabled the information to be passed on.
