Title: A0006 Skeldergate, Pawson's Warehouse (SK)
Alternative Title: 1972.19 Skeldergate, Pawson's Warehouse (SK)
Description: The excavation showed that the strip of land between Skeldergate and the River Ouse had been reclaimed c.1305 and that the present limestone river wall dates from this period. Some 6m behind it there was a similar parallel wall, and the walls were founded on tree trunks sunk in the late 13th century river bed. The area between the two walls had been filled with sand and the space between the inner wall and Skeldergate had been levelled up. Warehouses were built on the site, in the heart of the dock area of York, in the later medieval and post-medieval period, the demolished 17th century structure being the last in the series.
