Engineers on London’s Crossrail project find and unearth 25 graves from victims of the Bla
Engineers on London’s Crossrail project find and unearth 25 graves from victims of the Black Death dated from around 1350. Signs have been found of more burials across Charterhouse Square and also the foundations of a building, possibly a chapel. Further examination of the bones suggest that these people lived lives of hard labour, suffered malnutrition and that almost half grew up outside of London. -- source link
