Description

This event represents the post-excavation analysis, derived from archaeological excavation undertaken from March to April 2002 in the area of New Crane Street, Chester. Much of the analysis was concerned with flood defences dating to the seventeenth century, and the quay wall built between 1853 and 1872.
