27th July 2013<\/h1>\n

First Saturday of the Dig<\/h2>\n

With everyone feeling rejuvenated after the trip to Hampton Court the day before, we began work on Saturday morning with high spirits. However, the threat of rain soon put everyone on edge and the weather threatened to ruin the Young Archaeologists Society\u2019s visit to the site. Luckily for everyone the rain held off and Saturday proved to be a highly productive day.<\/p>\n

Hard at work<\/p><\/div>\n

Emily also found a clay pipe which got everyone excited for a short time until it was realised the pipe is most likely another re-enactor\u2019s replica. The pipe is a replica of a pipe made to commemorate the sanctioning and construction of the Manchester Ship Canal (1885 \u2013 1920)<\/p>\n

Young Archaeologists Club<\/h2>\n

Chris\u2019 \u201cYoung Archaeologists Society\u201d paid a visit to the site and the restoration of the\u00a0ring work. They enjoyed the activities set up and ran by various students, as well as getting a hands-on archaeological experience when they were allowed to trowel for a while in one of the trenches. They barely lasted twenty \u00a0minutes before complaining about sore knees and feet, and saying how they empathise with those who had been digging for a week.<\/p>\n
