NT 26286 73360 A programme of work was undertaken, October 2015 – December 2016, during internal alterations and extension to 60 Pleasance, the Pleasance Theatre Building, and the former Quaker Meeting House. A basic survey was undertaken of the meeting house and ground-breaking
work was monitored. A small section of a linear feature of potentially 16th-century date was identified to the N of the Theatre Building, and an internal cobbled floor was found during excavations for a lift shaft within 60 Pleasance, which probably represents the original floor of the building.
