Two trial trenches laid out adjacent to Sweet Briar Hall in Hospital Street produced a quantity of medieval pottery dating from circa 1200 AD and suggested that the street was not built up until circa 1700 AD, when large quantities of pottery and glass vessels were thrown into a pit, indicating the possible existance of a public house nearby.
