During the excavation of a utilities trench leading from the NW end of Styring Street into the bus station, a brick wall was revealed. A total of 9 courses were observed, to a height of 0.94m. The bricks measured 220mm x 110mm x 80mm, and were laid as stretchers with regular coursing. A maximum length of 3.18m of th structure was exposed, along a NE-SW orientation, with NW-SE aligned returns visible at either end of the wall. This was presumably the remains of a cellar wall, resulting from 19th century occupation of the area.

Further trenching along Styring Street exposed the remains of wall foundations. Two walls were broadly perpendicular to the trenchand both aligned NE-SW, parallel to each other. A third wall had been damaged during the excavation work, but was orientated NW-SE and would likely have been adjoined to the other two portions of wall. The bricks used in all three walls were identical, and measured 220mm x 110mm x 80mm, laid with an English Cross bonding style, to a height of at least 1m. Given the proximity of these walls to the foundation mentioned above, it is quite possible that these originally formed part of the same or closely related structures.

Further foundations represented the fragmentary remains of a rectanglar structure, exposed in plan towards the NW end of Styring Street. The remains observed covered an area measuring approximately 4.7m x 3.3m. The bricks used to construct the wall measured 240mm x 120mm x 90mm. Only visible in plan, it was not possible to determine the bonding pattern, only that the bricks were laid as stretchers to double thickness. Later truncation of the structure has been attributed to moder service trenches that were observed in the area.

These walls represent the remains of terraced properties constructed, along with Styring Street between 1885-1900 and later demolished during the 1960's.
