Abstract:		 Three engineering trial pits and a trench were excavated at each grout shaft location. Natural London Clay was recorded in each shaft, varying in depth beneath ground level of between 600-1200mm. A variety of brick structures were exposed, all of which were constructed from materials in use during mid to late 19th-century. Three shallow narrow offset footings, exposed in the eastern and central shafts, were possibly foundations for the existing standing building, or scaffolding foundations/supports. Within the footprints of the eastern and central shafts, two brick and concrete walls were exposed that are likely to be the foundations for a railway that was in use until at least 1937. In the western grout shaft two 19th century narrow parallel walls were the remains of a southern perimeter wall that was demolished sometime during the 20th-century, after expansion of the market and extensions to the underground infrastructure. 19th and 20th-century backfill consisting of brick rubble overlay all these features, some of which had evidently been re-excavated numerous times over the last 150 years.
