Chester Dig at Grosvenor Park

Archaeology students from the University of Chester are in Grosvenor Park, Chester with excavation training provided by local professional archaeologists.

Together they are hoping the dig at Grosvenor Park, that continues until Friday 23 May, will this year reveal new information about the Roman history of the park and a medieval and 16th-century building destroyed in the English Civil War.

As well as gaining valuable work experience, the second-year Archaeology students will help to discover more about the past of this historic area of Chester. The annual excavation is run by West Cheshire Museums and is a partnership project between Cheshire West and Chester Council and archaeologists from the University of Chester's School of Humanities and Social Sciences.

Watch their progress Mon – Fri. Open afternoon on Tuesday 20 May
