- Description
-
18th/19th century cellars were encountered. Large scale dumping to raise the ground level between this building and the river was encountered. At 31 Skeldergate a cobble and brick surface of a water lane which sloped down towards the river was uncovered. A date for the construction was not established but it went out of use in the 2nd half of the 18th century when it was sealed by dumps prior to the construction of a cellared building which was itself demolished in the 19th century.
In a test pit a large area of mortared limestone blocks was seen 3.75m beneath the surface and 5.6m from the present river wall. This may be a part of the medieval river wall excavated at both the Albion Wharf and City Mills sites also on Skeldergate. - Type
