Scarborough Archaeological and Historical Society was sponsored by James Corrigan to carry out an archaeological evaluation excavation on this site which is located at the junction of Quay Street and Parkins Lane. The latter is a foot passage which runs between Quay Street and Sandside. The overall objective of the archaeological evaluation was to establish whether there are any remains (particularly of a timber framed building which is known to have existed on the site) that will be affected by any future development of the site.
