Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was carried out for the proposed development site including the Grosvenor Shopping Centre and the present bus station. Examination of historic maps indicated that the area fell within the historic medieval walled town and included the site of the former Greyfriars friary. The south-western corner of the redevelopment area just clipped the north-eastern corner of the postulated defensive circuit of the Saxon burh. During the Victorian period there was extensive disturbance by cellars, and the extensive redevelopment in the latter half of the 20th century had removed the majority of any archaeological deposits. It was therefore thought unlikely that any extensive areas of medieval or earlier deposits survived beneath the present bus station, but small areas of intact archaeological deposits may have been present.
