Description
Hull records ' On January 22nd 1958, thanks to an urgent call from Mr H.C.Calver, I went to inspect a shaft sunk by the Borough Engineer in Maidenburgh Street...the south edge of the shaft was 18" north of the north face of the Chapel, and the shaft had cut away 18" of solid masonry all across the south side'. <1>
This was presumably the Roman Theatre, see Hull's notes for further information.
