Time Capsule 15th January 2004

The Time Capsule buried within Temple Bar by Lady Meux in 1889, has been found by the stone masons. The 115 year old glass jar, was discovered in stone number C45.

The hole would have probably been made using a chisel which goes through the entire stone (C45) protecting the glass jar for past 115 years.

The jar hasn’t been opened, but the lid (cork type material) has deteriorated, allowing moisture into the container.

The Time Capsule has now been placed in an air type container and removed from the site for further examination.

Find out next month what was found inside the Time Capsule.
