In 2013-14, the central part of Vanner’s Chequer in Salisbury was due to be infilled with houses. The development, extending from Bedwin Street to Salt Lane, also included land on the south side of Salt Lane, in Griffin Chequer; offering the rare chance to study a complete chequer.

Our review of archaeology in the Three Swans Chequer is completed by looking at five small conjoining areas which were investigated in 1988 before the area was redeveloped. The premises demonstrate how buildings and their use are liable to change, often quite dramatically, at relatively short notice.
