Shippam site set to give up its secrets
Archaeologists are poised for the biggest and most exciting Roman excavation ever carried out in Chichester city centre – after demolition plans for the former Shippams factory site were approved by district councillors yesterday.
This will be the first time ever that a dig has been carried out on a major site fronting one of the main central streets.
The area is close to an important gateway where the Roman road from London entered the city, and significant material, including masonry buildings and even mosaics, could be found.
