Description
Commercial excavations in August 1967 revealed a north-south Roman street on a site now occupied by a department store. The street was overlain by a thick deposit of burnt daub (not thought to be Boudican destruction) and was flanked on the west by the remains of a robbed out Roman building.<1>
