Guildford Museum Excavation Unit

Millmead Road, Guildford

Observation by GMVEU of the construction of a wet well by Guildford Borough Council and Thames Water Utilities located substantial quantities of worked timbers dated to the medieval period and thought to represent a wharf. Medieval and post-medieval leather, pottery and metal finds were recovered from the spoil. (282)

Church Cottage, Church Lane, Pirbright

Following the discovery of pottery and a metal item by the owner of Church Cottage during the digging of foundation trenches for an extension, GMVEU produced a short report on the artefacts recovered from the spoil. These included various waste deposits, eg fragments of leather shoes, and over a hundred sherds of medieval and post-medieval pottery. As the finds seemed to be concentrated in certain areas of spoil they could have come from a feature or features - perhaps a rubbish tip.
