Archaeology THIS PROJECT SEEMS TO HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE HALT - PITY!
Michael Saxby, once of No 2, School Road, has written in to tell us of his experience at Broughton moat in 1974 when, after a storm had blown down an oak tree, he found a tunnel. He entered and after about 50 yards there was a wooden door with a hole and an iron cross in it. Looking through, he could see some things stacked by the wall but he got scared and left. The next day he filled the hole in.
Michael came over in late August 2018 and we walked across to where the hole had been - completely overgrown now. More information will be posted in due course.
I wonder whether anyone else has information about this intriguing story.

Sybil Tabbit has written in, saying she is interested in the above. She used to live at No 1 The Causeway (house now gone) and played in the moat field with her sister Christine.
