The #1ldteam have been supporting a client at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich. It is not uncommon to find interesting artefacts due to the rich history of the site, and last week our operative discovered a 6-inch stone cannonball, which an archaeologist on-site dated to the 1450's.

The #1ldteam have been working in #Southampton to support our client on a development for High Voltage cable ducts. The section being supported was recorded as sustaining 17 bomb strikes. Fortunately, nothing #UXO-related has been discovered to date – we will keep you updated.
