Wednesday, 5th February 2014, 7.30pm - Joint meeting with Newark Archaeological and Local History Society - ‘Chesters’, Main Street, Balderton NG24 3LL - “Using laser scanning and radar to search for Newark's Hidden Heritage” - Anne Coyne – Newark Hidden Heritage Group, and Gareth Davies – Trent & Peak Archaeology
During 2013, investigations
have been taking place into tales of underground voids and structures beneath
Newark. Desk-based assessments have been
supplemented by Ground Penetrating Radar survey and laser scanning. Surveys
have yielded some very interesting results.
TPA have continued to work with the Newark Town Centre Hidden Heritage
Group on a series of public engagement initiatives, including tours of some of
the market place cellars, and filming for BBC’s Inside Out (due for broadcast in
January 2014). The presentation will
focus on the technologies used as well as interpretation of results.
