Full Description
Entry in Wire's Diary; "Mr James Saxty of Long Wire Street informs me that unedr his house is a mosaic tessellated Roman pavement, and another in the yard, two doors north of Victoria Place, Long Wire Street". These cannot be either 13078 or 13079 and "it is not now possible to find out which was Saxty's house, but the implication is clear - that there are two pavements, one of them decorated, north of Victoria Place, and one associated with Long Wire Street, which we can no longer plot accurately". <1> <2>
