My favourite place to dig these days is Beverley. Lovely deep med strat, a lot of which is waterlogged, and without the crazy archaeological mitigations of York.
Yeah, but that excavation is usually in advance of some development that is aimed at destroying the town's character even further. Witness the travesty that was the excavation on the Tossco's site. Destroy the town's historic cattle market, which was as much a place for a family outing to see the lovely animals (don't tell the kids where the animals are going next) as it was a business. It was a part of the town's history and the council mucked it up, just as they seem intent on mucking up the playhouse and the memorial hall. The political manoeuvring on these projects and all that make me very angry. It was very much a case of running the playhouse down so that it would not be worth doing up, instead of doing the remediation works back when they were affordable. And as for their plan to turn Saturday Market into a mediterranean style piazza ... BAH!
IMO ERYC suck weasels. Now I would like to get them on the ice and show them what for. And all you get when you turn up at the public meetings and planning meetings are snide comments from the councillors. Bet it would be different if they actually lived in the town.Cheers,
