Thanks to our lovely friends the London Archaeologist.
This year is the 30th anniversary of the excavation of the Rose Theatre and the launch of the Save the Rose campaign. We first mentioned the discovery in our Excavation Round Up for 1989: https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/library/browse/details.xhtml?recordId=3190533&recordType=Journal
In 2004, we published a two-part report by Simon Blatherwick and Chris Pickard on an archaeological and engineering evaluation on the site next door to the remains of the Rose Theatre. The reports include the archaeological background to the investigation, a documentary and cartographic history of the site and the results of the excavations to discover the extent of the surviving archaeological remains, and are a must read if you're interested in the site
Part 1: https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/library/browse/details.xhtml?recordId=3191154&recordType=Journal
Part 2: https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/library/browse/details.xhtml?recordId=3191045&recordType=Journal
