Post-medieval settlement at Wheat Street/Vicarage Street, Nuneaton.
Post-medieval walls and wells recorded during the reduction of ground level across the site. These probably belonged to the terrace of houses shown on the First Edition OS map of 1887. The site is located at Wheat Street/Vicarage Street.
1 A watching brief during the reduction of ground level for a new Criminal Justice Centre and associated external facilities recorded four brick-built wells running in a line at a slight angle to the current street frontage. A number of brick walls ran at an angle to the present frontage. These walls, and the wells to their rear, must have belonged to the terrace of houses shown here in 1887. The terrace was demolished by 1949. Subsequent road widening in the later 20th century would have removed any remains of the front part of this terrace and the line of the original street frontage.
