Garden Test Pits

Here are some photos of this summer's test pits beside Sandra's Convenience Store. We have excavated the remains of an old farm that once stood where the store and Rufford Avenue are today. The farm is shown on Ordnance Survey maps in the second half of the 19th century. We are hoping to find objects from its history and to see how old it is.
