What is recorded here

Rendered rubble masonry retaining walls, built c. 1800, flanking north and south sides of River Street at sharp corner. Partially damaged to south-east. Mid twentieth century replacement concrete section to north-west.
This section of rubble masonry retaining wall is an attractive features of the River Street streetscape and an important survival, retaining the characteristic early character of the narrow street. Given its proximity to the former city walls it is possible that the structure retains material of archaeological significance and it is certainly of technical interest for the skills involved in its construction.
