A WEALTH of finds dating back to medieval times have been unearthed in a North Yorkshire town.
The remains of a 15th Century town house or friary have been found in Springfield, one of the oldest parts of Scarborough.
Archaeologists have been working against the clock to excavate the site, which is due to have five homes built on it, said Martin Stephens who is leading the excavation. "It would have been a very impressive building before it was demolished."
Members of Scarborough Archaeological and Historical Society have dug trenches during the past four years on the site.
Developers Daytona were told they would only be allowed to build on the site if they allowed a study to be made of the archaeological remains.
