Charter Quay
The Spirit Of Change, The Archaeology Of Kingston's Riverside
by Phil Andrews
"The Charter Quay development in Kingston upon Thames occupies much of the heart of the historic town. Before construction began, archaeologists excavating the site uncovered the essential elements of the town's growth over 900 years its urban planning, its market place businesses, shops and inns, the early industrial estate south of the Hogsmill, and the riverside wharves essential for its burgeoning trade."
"This book describes the results of these important excavations, illuminating Kingston's wider history and bringing to life, in the details of the finds, the lives of the people; carpenters, bakers, innkeepers, maltsters and fishmongers who built the houses, ran the businesses, frequented the inns and helped turn a medieval village into a modern town."--Jacket.
