| Abstract: |
The earliest deposits encountered during the excavations were waterlain and indicated that the site originally lay within the river. The river course was subsequently narrowed and the site was reclaimed by the construction of walls, followed by ground consolidation. Dating evidence showed that the reclamation was roughly consistent with the College's acquisition of the land. Under College ownership access to a building beyond a wall at the northern limit of the site was blocked and the site covered in a cobbled surface. In the 18th/19th century a toilet block was built against a new river wall and connected to a rain water culvert. This sewage system was updated with the construction of the Thornton Building at the turn of the century, but the toilet block continued in use until the Second World War. [Au(abr)] |
