Breaking New Ground: Archaeology at the Abbots Staith, Selby

Mark Simpson

The Abbots Staith warehouse at Selby is a rare, possibly unique, survival of a medieval monastic riverside warehouse. A small team of community volunteers did an archaeological dig inside the warehouse in 2017-18 and a second dig is now in the planning stage. This talk summarises the progress so far and looks ahead to the next phase.
