Description
{1} Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out an archaeological investigation and recording during the demolition of the former Fishmarket and 5 & 7 Sheep Street, Northampton, in advance of the construction of a new 21-stand bus interchange. The work observed the remains of cellars which had been largely removed prior to the construction of the Fishmarket on the Bradshaw Street frontage. Below the Fishmarket three extant cellars were observed and a further cellar under the rear of 5 Sheep Street. A well was observed under the cellar floor of 7 Sheep Street.
