By Archaeological finds discovered in North East Lincolnshire to be put on public display
A new event that will showcase an array of interesting archaeological finds discovered in North East Lincolnshire will open to the public next week.
Local people will have the chance to see Iron Age, Roman and Medieval pottery, along with animal bones, salt-making sites and other artefacts which were uncovered.
Workers for Ørsted discovered the items while the multinational power company installed 39km of cable from Horseshoe Point through Tetney, Waltham and Laceby – to transport clean electricity from the company’s offshore wind farm to the substation at North Killingholme.
Now, the pieces will be put on display for public inspection on Tuesday 21 September at Healing Manor between 12pm and 8pm – and everyone is being encouraged to come and inspect the findings.
Following the event, the items will be sent to North Lincolnshire Museum in Scunthorpe for safekeeping.
Mike Wood from Network Archaeology said: “This is a great chance for us to share what we have found on the project with the communities who live nearby. We’re also able to share stories about the people who used to live here.”
Imran Nawaz, Stakeholder Advisor and Community Benefit Fund Manager for Ørsted said: “We welcome members of our local community to attend a fantastic opportunity for people to see first-hand some of the fascinating archaeological finds from along our cable route and to speak to the experts who will be able to share knowledge on the history of the local area.”
The event will showcase items which have been located along the southern section of the cable route which runs from Horseshoe Point, up to the A46. An additional event will be held for northern section items in the near future.
