Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out on the site to monitor the installation of new services as part of the refurbishment of 1 Canon Row, a former Police station. All work was undertaken in Canon Row- a thoroughfare to the west of 1 Canon Row, and in Derby Gate just to the north of Canon Row. The watching brief was undertaken on the excavation of two small test pit trenches in the pavement against the west wall of the building and three lengths of services trenching in the roadway itself. Ground raising deposits containing pottery dating from the 18th century were seen in the two test pits, covered by later 19th century ground-raising deposits. In the other trenches, all of which were located in the roadway in Canon Row, deposits likely dating from the 19th century were seen below modern made ground and tarmac. In the northernmost trench in Canon Row- where it meets Derby Gate, the top of an 18th or 19th century arched brick drain or sewer was partially exposed, crossing the trench from west to east- parallel with Derby Gate. Natural deposits were not encountered during the watching brief. |
