Abstract:		 The watching brief comprised two main elements: observation and recording during contractors' excavations on the Richmond Bank, and off-site examination and metal detector scanning of material excavated from the riverbed in the area of the two eastern piers of the Bridge. Monitoring work on the Richmond Bank did not reveal any significant archaeological remains, although there was evidence for the wider river channel which was indicated by 18th and early 19th century cartographic sources. Substantial dumps of made ground, probably dating mainly to the construction of the present bridge in 1825-28, were also recorded. The scanning of material from the river bed produced a range of later post-medieval finds dating from the 19th century to present day. The most interesting and unusual discovery was a cast copper alloy plate decorated with a view of the Crucifixion, which would originally have formed the back cover to a Greek Orthodox edition of the Gospels. Other unexpected finds included a number of Mexican coins and an art deco permanent wave award. [Au]
