This is the basement of a Victorian building. It was demolished and the cellar was filled in. We dug out the cellar using a machine and then we dug our trench through the concrete basement floor.

A mixture of photographs from 2 very busy days on site, with a good group of burials. Next week I’ll get Liz, Will, Tomasz, Ruth and Adrian to write a journal entry each (if I can persuade them), as they all dug particularly interesting burials.
