Description
Roman remains plotted when shops were constructed in 1929, recorded by Mr E.J. Rudsdale.<1> Rosalind Dunnett later commented that 'By use of the 1876 OS 1:500 map, and a 1962 aerial survey of the town, it was found that the shop walls were planned in accurately by Rudsdale to tie in well with the property boundaries also shown in his plan'.<1>
