Heart of the City by Peter Rowsome
Excavations at 1 Poultry, in advance of building development, tells the story of London - from Roman frontier town to provincial capital; ruin then revival as medieval Europe's largest city; recovery from fire and plague to become the world's richest metropolis; the Blitz, and the famously disputed demolition of 16 Victorian buildings'. The story of the excavation and the information it revealed about the history of London are told through a montage of text and a large number of illustrations.
Peter Rowsome led the Museum of London's excavations at Poultry. He has supervised several other important excavations of Roman and medieval London, as well as digs in Italy and the Middle East. He is presently a Senior Project Manager at the Museum of London Archaeology Service.
