This is an immensely fascinating work, published originally in
1968, which is of great value in understanding London's past. The
immediate background to the excavations was the bombing of London
during the Second World War, which led to the destruction of more
than fifty of the three hundred and fifty or so acres that make up
the walled city. The interval before rebuilding was a magnificent
opportunity for archaeological excavation. The Royal Society of
Antiquaries of London established the Roman and Mediaeval London
Excavation Council to organise an extended programme which began in
July 1947 and went on until 1962. This volume reports on the major
series of excavations and deals in detail with Cripplegate, the
Temple of Mithras and many mediaeval churches including St Bride's,
Fleet Street.
