Description
A Grade II-listed retaining wall at The Croft, Queen Street, Geddington had suffered severe water damage from the previous winter's (2013-14) heavy rains and was in danger of collapse. Listed building consent was granted to take the wall down in stages and subsequently rebuild. The dismantling of the wall and stabilisation of the ground face behind it was undertaken under archaeological supervision. No archaeology was present. The dismantled wall's age remains uncertain but a date pre 1886 is likely, perhaps even as early as before 1808. Information from OASIS Online Form.
