Hull's Henry VIII blockhouse dig 'bit of a gem'
27 December 2017
A dig at a 16th Century blockhouse commissioned by Henry VIII for the city of Hull's defences has uncovered the original floor levels from the 1540s.
Ken Steedman, of Humber Field Archaeology (HFA), said the autumn excavation had "worked out very well".
Fragments of reused monastic material taken from the king's dissolution of the monasteries were also found in some walls, he said.
The port's defences were demolished in 1864 but not completely destroyed.
