Over the centuries voids have appeared beneath the floor, leading to subsidence. The contractors intended to bury them beneath the new floor structure – but as they dug deeper they came across the vividly coloured tiles of a 13th-century floor. Wessex Archaeology West (@wessexwest) The team is still hard at work uncovering more Medieval floor @bathabbey with @EmeryBuilders. The next phase of restoration involves repeating the process in the north side of the abbey and, finally, the south section will be sealed off and the floor lifted and restored. The wealth of discoveries that were found underneath the floor has been truly amazing and it really is incredible to see the restoration of the ledger stones.
