Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the demolition of the Old West Pier at West Pier at West Bay. This report represented work carried out during the final stage of demolition and incorporates results from the 2003 archaeological work. The work revealed that the Coode Pier, constructed in 1856 survived intact for its full length although its western facade had been breached in several places. Repair works had been undertaken largely on the western facade, mainly consisting of a concrete fill. No earlier structures were identified. A quantity of animal bone was recovered from the dredging of the main channel, and was thus devoid of contextual relationships. [Au(adp)] |
