Learning about the distant past

A passer-by stops in Redcliffe Street; the once-familiar warehouses and offices are largely cleared now, allowing a glimpse at the earlier ground level. Having removed the topsoil too, construction was stopped to allow archaeologists time to delve deeper into the foundations. Most of this part of Bristol, close to Bristol Bridge, is post-war redevelopment that is now itself being redeveloped. But going into the ground has brought older foundations to light - some going back centuries. See Image
