On the street where you live

The remains of a 16th Century cess pit, a Roman causeway and evidence of a red light district have been uncovered during a month-long dig in Worcester. The site at Newport Street will be closed for one more day before work starts to build 114 flats.

Archaeologists say they have uncovered a priceless uninterrupted vision of life along what was once one of Worcester's main streets.

Belatedly excerpted from the BBC.
