Charter Quay: The Spirit of Change - The Archaeology of Kingston's Riverside

This book examines over 900 years of archaeology, tracing the development of the historic town of Kingston-upon-Thames from its beginnings as a planned town in the 12th century, to the urban shopping centre it has developed into. Using the evidence available, the authors are able to illuminate the finds, the buildings and even the people who ran the businesses, drank in the inns, and turned this Medieval village into a modern town.
