11-19 St Thomas Street Southwark SE1 1977

(11STS77)

 DGLA (Southwark & Lambeth) archaeological excavation in 1977 at 11-19 St Thomas Street (11STS77) supervised by George Dennis, assisted by Robin Densem. The photo shows the substantial stone walls of a later medieval stone cellar or undercroft, almost certainly part of St Thomas’s Hospital. The site also produced a halfpenny of Alfred the Great from one of several gullies, and underlying Roman Stratigraphy.
