Activities

Watching Brief (15 May 2017 - 14 June 2017)

NT 28650 72078 – NT 26191 72646 A watching brief was undertaken, 15 May – 14 June 2017, during the installation of new lighting along a cycle path. Two short sections of red brick and concrete walls built over a concrete surface were identified. These were probably 19th- to 20th-century in date and possibly associated with the former Innocent Railway.
