Woolwich New Road sewer extension SE18 TQ 4374 7884 MoLAS (Simon Pennington) watching brief July 2007 AMEC WAX06
Work on new drainage shaft was monitored during diversion of a sewer necessitated by the construction of the Woolwich Arsenal extension of the Docklands light railway. Modern truncation and intrusions were recorded in the shaft trench. Natural ground was not observed as the works terminated on top of a functioning large sewer that the shaft was designed to intercept. No meaningful archaeological deposits predating modern services were located.
