Location Context Title Context Description Description (Modern)
No. 1 Boundary Street This was a large and important house at the corner of Boundary Street and Niche Lane,opening on the former. The outer walls had from fourteen to twenty courses of burnt brick showing above pavement level, the inner and back walls had only a damp-course of from two to five courses; the building was well preserved except on the NE where it had suffered denudation by being on the line of a wadi cut by the water from the higher ground to the SW. There were two doors opening on the street very close to one another; the second (No. 3) was probably a shop attached to the dwelling-house. (none)
No. 1 Broad Street The house occupied the corner site between Store Street and Broad Street and fronted on the latter, its main entrance giving on to the open space of Carfax. It had arrived at its present form as the result of a good deal of re-modelling, but in its original lay-out was of quite normal type except for the fact that, owing to considerations of space, there were no chambers on the north side of its courtyard. The house was well-built and it would seem that after its destruction fragments of its walls were still left standing above the debris and were incorporated in a later building, for remains of walls whose foundations were 1.40 m. above the floor ran parallel to the old walls and seemed to join up with their upper parts. (none)
House XXVII (none) (none)
