VR gallery

If you don't already have it installed on your computer, you will need a simple free QuickTime download from www.apple.com/quicktime to run these VRs. The minimum version required is 3, although 5 is better. Once installed, clicking on any of the links below should start the VR after a short downloading delay. Each VR provides a 360-degree panoramic view of different aspects of the excavation, enabling you to zoom in or out and explore the site from different angles.

Panoramic VR1: Three channels were excavated that had been cut at right angles to the river Ouse in the 15th century. They would have been used as wharves for loading and unloading goods.

Panoramic VR2: This medieval kiln, in Zone B of the excavation site, was used for the production of very high-quality pottery – truly fit for a bishop's table.
