Stable Yard Development
Thursday April 14th, 2011
Following the intensive archaeological investigations that were carried out on the site in front of the Heritage Centre work is once more underway on constructing the block of student accommodation.
Considerable effort has been expended by all parties involved to find a suitable method of protecting the structures that were discovered beneath the site.
The photograph shows part of the foundations with the concrete pads which will carry specially designed reinforced concrete beams that will span the buried structures leaving them untouched beneath the building.

The decision to cover over the structures is standard procedure in cases where archaeology needs to be protected and is the method used around twelve years ago to protect the structures discovered beneath the site of the student village which was constructed on Paddington.
The structures at Paddington and now those at Smithdown Lane will probably not be seen again for a generation or more but at least they have been fully recorded and protected.
