The building work goes on despite rain, sleet, wind and, yes, SNOW!

So this is the old Church Street swimming pool. It was taken out of service a few years ago and filled in. Now it's being "unfilled".




As you can see we have quite a few Archaeologists on site. They watch the big digger at work and then call a halt if anything of interest comes up. They then dig a pit or two to explore the find... if any.




Though it might be nice... we're kind of hoping that they don't find anything too interesting as that would hold us up a lot. They found an old well near to the Mulberry tree. Other than some post holes, bits of goat bone and the odd oyster shell. Steyning used to be a port until about 1350 ish.






















Here's my first attempt at a video using my still camera in "Video" mode. It'll be interesting to see what the quality is like. The first one is in the sleet. I put the shorter one in to show the snow!!



Yup... real live SNOW!

The way they are digging there will be a new Blog entry pretty soon! These were taken around the 12th of January 2010.
