The development of early medieval and later Poultry and Cheapside: Excavations at 1 Poultry and vicinity, City of London
This volume presents the evidence for Late Saxon, medieval and post-medieval development at 1 Poultry and vicinity from one of the largest excavations in the heart of the Roman and medieval city. An integrated account of the sequence, based on archaeological and documentary records, describes Late Saxon reoccupation of the site from the later 10th century, with scattered sunken-floored buildings, succeeded by more regular development of narrow-fronted timber roadside properties by the 11th century, increasing in density until the 13th century when large stone houses were built in open areas behind the street frontages. Remarkable survivals include the remains of the late 11th-century church of St Benet Sherehog.

Roman London and the Walbrook stream crossing: excavations at 1 Poultry and vicinity, City of London
1 Poultry proved to be one of the most significant Roman sites ever excavated in the City of London, with an unparalleled sequence of buildings, roads and open spaces. A timber drain of AD 47/8 beneath the main road is the earliest securely dated structure yet known from Londinium, and a pottery shop, destroyed in the Boudican revolt, gives a snapshot of life in AD 60/1. A 2nd-century AD writing tablet preserves the only evidence for the sale of a slave found in Britain to date, while the 3rd- and 4th-century buildings found provide a rare demonstration of the continuities and changes that occurred in Roman urban life. A full digital resource for the sites excavated at 1 Poultry and in the vicinity is available online via Archaeology Data Service

Medieval settlement to 18th-/19th-century rookery. Excavations at Central St Giles, London Borough of Camden, 2006-8
The development of this London suburb from the medieval period to the early 20th century is illustrated by excavations on the site of St Giles Court. Houses were first built along the High Street in the mid 16th century and 100 years later St Giles was at the heart of London suburban expansion and relatively prosperous. By the late 18th century the reputation of the St Giles area and its housing had declined. The site lay within the southern core of the area known as the ‘Rookery’ – a notorious late 18th- and 19th-century slum but from the archaeological evidence an area of contrasting lifestyles, households and businesses
