Rare artefacts unearthed at London Bridge

摘要

Medieval floors, 16th century tobacco pipes and thousand-year-old timbers are among hundreds of artefacts that have been unearthed and preserved by Network Rail as a result of Thameslink Programme work at London's oldest railway station, London Bridge. Archaeological work during construction of the new Borough viaduct uncovered remains from the Roman, Saxon, medieval and more recent periods that reveal the formation and growth of an ancient settlement at Southwark.
