Large sections of the city wall were simply pushed over to the south and the level made up to the higher level of Bull Close Road. A brick retaining wall was built to revet the dumping. The houses were then built on this artifical platform.
In 1972 the inner face of the tumbled wall was exposed by a machine dug trench, dug for the insertion of the foundations for new housing development.
