An archaeological watching brief during the enhancement of Barnstaple Quay exposed several 19th- and 20th century features. The west end of the foundations and the lower part of the walls of part of Barnstaple Quay railway station were excavated as well as the footings for the station canopy. A cobbled surface adjacent to Queen Anne Walk was presumed to be the surfacing used to level Great Quay after infilling in the mid 19th century. Drainage features in the area of the fish market were also exposed. Finds were all of mid-late 19th century and included pottery, clay pipe and bath stone from the fish market building.
