- Description
- Archaeological deposits dating from the 13th/14th century to the 20th century were recorded within an area excavated for a lift shaft. The deposits included evidence for several phases of building on the site and appeared to relate to properties on Tanner Row or Tanner Street. The earliest deposits were a series of sands which may have formed floors within a 13th century building. By the late 14th or early 15th century the area was characterised by dumping and pit digging. Dumping of domestic rubbish continued into the 16th century before a building with stone foundations was constructed on the site. A brick surface dating from between the 16th - 18th century may either have been part of a garden path, or a floor within the structure. Subsequently the building was demolished and the area returned to use as a dumping ground. The foundations of what may have been an 18th century timber warehouse which was repaired or rebuilt in the 19th century, and may be the warehouse represented on the 1st edition OS map, 1852 were recorded. This warehouse was demolished in the 20th century and the area levelled used as a car park before it was occupied by the present office buildings in the 1980s.
