No. 20 Bridge Street was demolished to make way for four local authority houses. To create the required space, levelling of a steep bank and demolition of a stone-built retaining wall were required. The wall was inspected by a conservation architect and found to be of no significance. It was recorded and taken down by hand. Uncut stones were bonded by a loose mortar with brick fragments. Behind this, the bank comprised 0.6m of dark topsoil overlying a light yellow, loose boulder clay. Nothing of archaeological significance was observed.
