Abstract: |
An extended evaluation at the site of a proposed new library located the canal basin known to have been constructed between 1718 and 1723, and provided information on the technique used to cut and revet this timber lined water feature. Timber and iron tiebacks related to at least three phases of construction and repair of the basin edge; the last occurring in the early 20th century. A building marked on a plan of 1817 as a 'weighing house', was located in both trenches. An extension to the weighing house, drains, the possible base of a crane, and a sunken boat were also revealed. [Au(adp)] |
