No 1 PoultryNo 1 Poultry is an office and retail building in London. It was designed by James Stirling on a site owned by Peter Palumbo, the controversial property developer. It was completed after Stirling's death by his architectural partner Michael Wilford. The building is one the leading postmodern buildings in London with use of bold but perhaps unsubtle forms and colours. While construction was underway, a major archaeological dig was undertaken by the Museum of London Archeological Service MOLAS (directed by Peter Rowsome). This excavation made several significant discoveries, including a wooden drain along the main Roman road. Using dendrochronology, this was dated to 47 AD, suggesting this may be the date of the foundation of Roman Londinium. References - Peter Rowsome Heart Of The City Museum Of London, 2000
