Full Description

Part of a red-brick building, probably 18th century, revealed during excavations in 1975. A wall probably associated with this building was recorded in Area 3 (MPM1234).

The site is known as 'Highbury Street', although excavations took place in three areas on land between St. Thomas' Street and Highbury Street now occupied by housing centred on Hanover Court. This record relates to a post-medieval feature from 'Area 1'.
