'(194) Buildings with mosaic pavements have been found at various times between South Street and Trinity Street in the area formerly known as Cedar Park, and to the W. of Trinity Street. They may belong to a large house W. of the street (179) running S. in the centre of the town. (a) In foundation trenching in 1936 for Marks and Spencer's Store, 48 South Street (69199056), a limestone wall nearly 3 ft. wide was noted 17 ft. E. of the pavement of Trinity Street running N. to S. for over 45 ft. with a turn W. for over 11 ft. at the N. end. Close to its N.E. angle were traces apparently of a S.E. angle of another building, well faced in stone.'
