Have you been following Britain’s Biggest Dig? Headland Archaeology are following the HS2 route and excavating sites of interest along the way. These include old burial grounds and cemetaries in London and Birmingham.
The Birmingham site dating from the industrial revolution has given valuable insight into the living and working conditions of our ancestors including repetitive strain injuries from the fearsome presses in the jewellery quarter, malnutrition, and even the scandal of body snatching for research at the local hospitals.
Staysafe PPE are proud to have rebranded the hi-vis PPE for the archaeologists saving Headland Archaeology on replacement costs and resources. We’re doing our best to stop the 20th century from being known as “the plastic age”!
