Location Context Title Context Description Description (Modern)
House IV Excavation designation in area AH mostly covering No. 1 Old Street but likely containing parts of No. 7 Church Lane as well. (none)
No. 1 Old Street In the form in which it survived the house was relatively late; its floor level was 0.60 m. higher than that of its neighbour, No. 3 Straight Street, part of its premises had been alienated and transferred to No. 7 Church Lane and there was a certain amount of patchwork in its walls; but the wall foundations in some cases went down deep and the modifications it had undergone pointed to a long existence. The burnt bricks used in its construction measured 0.25 m. X 0.17 m. X 0.08 m. A long and narrow private passage from Old Street led to the entrance-lobby. (none)
