This project consisted of a major archaeological watching brief and excavation programme, conducted across an extensive part of the maritime and water-front areas of this important historic town, ahead of major road construction and sewer trenching, between the summer of 1991 and the spring of 1993. There were 21 areas of archaeological investigation: the 8th was the Railway Bridge over railway at eastern end of Limekiln Street, adjacent to old Strond Street. An extended watching brief and palaeo-environmental sampling was undertaken ahead of bridge building. The features uncovered include the foundations of 19th century Holy Trinity Church, possible 19th century lime-kilns predating the church, 18th century clay pipe-manufacturing debris found in a pit, a post-medieval cellar walls and a well and palaeo-environmental evidence including natural beach deposits and chalk rubble deposits from an ancient cliff collapse. The finds recovered include post-medieval pottery, glass and a large sample of clay-pipes.(1)
