The site of the Pancras Lane mosaic
Back to Time Period![The site of the Pancras Lane mosaic](/includes/thumb/phpThumb.php?src=/images/objects/Roman_location_mosaic_Exeter.jpg&w=500)
In 1887 during the building of the Police Station in Waterbeer Street a Roman corridor mosaic was found. It caused great interest and was lifted and re-laid at the entrance to the building. Upon the demolition of the Police Station in the late 1960s the mosaic was re-buried.
The photograph shows the Police Station (right of centre) in the early 20th century.
