 A HISTORY OF LONDON On the west side of the stream also many pavements and other indica- tions of buildings have been found. At Bucklersbury a small pavement was discovered entire/* which is now in the Guildhall Museum (Fig. 40). Beneath it were the flues for heating the apartment (Fig. 26), and portions of the house to which it belonged were also found stretching away on the bank to the west, with the remains of a veranda on the front overlooking the stream. A large wall of ragstone, 9 ft. high and 4 ft. thick, built between half- poles and planks, and resting on the gravel at a depth of 21 ft., has recently been opened up in Knightrider Street ^^ and found to extend across Friday Street ; apparently it served as a containing wall for some of the buildings mentioned as occurring here so plentifully, which were drained by sewers built of tiles, which have been found under Knightrider Street and running southward to the Thames (Fig. 27)." At Warwick Square" remains of buildings were discovered resting at a depth of about 19 ft.
