Full Description
Archaeological investigations carried out along Water Tower Street in 1998 revealed a part brick-lined, part sandstone-lined sewer, running along the centre of the road at a depth of between 1.5 - 2.5m below the surface (4). The sewer was removed as part of the trenching operation. The excavators concluded that it appeared to be of eighteenth or nineteenth century date (4). Please note that a watching brief at Water Tower gardens in 2002 revealed a similar sewer, in line with this part (CHER 10331).
