In making a common-sewer along Lombard-street in the autumn of the year 1785 and the following winter, the labourers met with a great number of Romaan antiquities, particularly tesselated pavements and earthen ware. The first pavement that I have heard of was near Sherborn-lane, and was composed of bricks about an inch square, and bedded in very firm mortar. Between this and the Post-office a wall was found perforated perpendicularly by two flues, one circular, the other square. Opposite the Port-office was dug up a foundation (or floor) of common Roman bricks, each about eighteen inches by twelve in size.
