Description
The repair of a large diameter water pipe at the junction of The Old Orchard and the eastern Quay exposes a dark layer at a depth of 3.0m, and beneath that a 1.0m deep layer of oyster shells. The latter appears to coincide with the Oyster Bank on Sir Peter Thompson's Map of Poole, 1751.
