Discarded as a single deposit, these ‘clearance groups’ offer an invaluable opportunity to compare individual establishments across the social spectrum, allowing the evolving role of ceramics in a rapidly developing consumer society to be traced. This article is concerned particularly with clearances from inns and taverns, focusing on a fine assemblage of pottery, glass and clay pipes from the site of the King’s Arms in Uxbridge, deposited c. 1785–1800. The range of finds recovered, their sources and function, and their contribution to our understanding of inn society are discussed and comparison is made with clearances from other victualling establishments and households in London, Guildford, Leicester and the American colonies, examining in particular the availability of ceramics, choice, taste, social status and function, as demonstrated by archaeologically recovered collections assembled by their original owners rather than by the preferences of modern curators and collectors.

This lecture, the fourth held by SPMA in honour of the late Geoff Egan, focuses on a remarkably rich and varied assemblage of 17th-and 18th-century artefacts excavated on a site in Tanner Street in 2012. Covering a wide spectrum of activities, occupations and levels of society, these include ceramics, glass, clay tobacco pipes, pewter, copper-alloy, wood, leather, bone and ivory, with objects as diverse as cloth seals, spoons, book mounts, wine bottles and glasses, bird feeders and a mallet for playing pall mall, and sources ranging from the English Midlands to the Far East.

Providing insights into the ancillary buildings, drainage and water supply structures located to the rear of the Infirmary, among the features excavated was a stone-built soakaway serving the first laundry complex. Upon the building being rebuilt as a fever ward in 1824, the soakaway became a receptacle for unwanted pottery, glass and other finds. The composition of this assemblage provides a glimpse of the material culture of a hospital during this period.

The large-scale reconstruction meant that there was limited survival of earlier buildings, but many later structures survived almost intact and stretches of the quays that fl anked the Waterworks River were also recorded. The excavated remains of both the buildings and revetments spanned the period from the late 15th to the late 19th centuries.

The latter sequence comprised the remains of two builds of cellars associated with tenements at Duke's Court, a former street on the northern side of the Royal Mews. An exceptional collection of glassware and tin-glazed plates was recovered from these cellars. It must have come from prosperous households and documents an early and significant stage in the development of English glass manufacture. The paper examines the glass and associated finds from the post-medieval features. in the Westminster area have uncovered Iron-Age pits, ditches and timber revetments dated to c. 540 BC. Roman evidence is also fairly sporadic, but includes the discovery of a sarcophagus and, more recently, a tile kiln below the crypt of St Martin-in-the-Fields church. This and other sites at the National Gallery and in the immediate area have produced evidence of Middle-Saxon settlement. The main evidence is for activities such as quarrying and refuse disposal, possibly indicating an area on the periphery of the town. The full extent of Middle-Saxon Lundenwic is not yet clear, but the western boundary was probably in the area of Charing Cross Road and Trafalgar Square. To the north, traces of a semirural farmstead were discovered; all aspects of the archaeological evidence suggest activity away from the more intensely occupied areas around Covent Garden. In the medieval period, the site was to the north of the Royal Mews, first mentioned in the reign of Edward I. It lay within a walled enclosure, possibly around stables (Fig. 2). By 1746, the area
