Description
In 1934 the former site of Mumford's Works was cleared for a car park, and with the co-op of H.M. Ministry of Works the Museum was able to cut some exploratory trenches in the area. These were made in the eastern half of it and were almost without result, for it was found that the Roman surface lay nearly 9ft deep, and the only find of interest was a red tessellated pavement, the site was used for the new library. <1> DUPLICATE RECORD OF ECC815
