Paved Ways And Remains Of Posts For Railings Found Underground During Construction Of A Barrel-Drain In The Market Place, Warminster, 1809

In Chapter XXXIII, “The Town Of Warminster,’ in his book The History Of Warminster (published 1879), Rev. John J. Daniell, noted:

In making the main barrel-drain through the Market-place in 1809, there were found pitched or paved ways across the street at certain distances apart, from two to three feet under the surface, and the remains of wooden posts, apparently used for railings lengthwise of the street and nearly in the centre.
