Most people who use it today have no idea that under the grass lies the physical evidence of an extraordinary story – the story of Britain\'s darkest and, in the words of Winston Churchill, finest hour.At the beginning of the 1940s, the area now covered by the park was crammed with terraced houses. And between 7 September 1940, when the Nazis\' aerial blitz on London began, and 11 May 1941, when it reached its bloody climax, the sky was swarming with German bombers. The consequences for the people who lived in these terraces were catastrophic. By the time the bombing was over, barely a single house had escaped being damaged; many were completely destroyed.In the summer of 2005, and again for a shorter period in 2006, archaeologists from the Museum of London carried out a pioneering \'community excavation\' to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. They were searching for what was left of some of the houses that once stood on the site.The excavation was pioneering in two senses. First, its target was the sort of ordinary 19th and 20th century remains that archaeologists normally dig through to get to the older layers underneath. (Martin Brown, one of the archaeologists working on the project, said he was aware of only one other archaeological excavation that has looked at housing bombed during the Second World War.) And second, the dig aimed to involve as many people as possible from the local community, including past and present residents, in exploring buried aspects of their own recent history.Time Team was present to film the excavation and the finds, to help to uncover the history of the area and to talk to some of the hundreds of people – both young and old – who played a part in this unique archaeological project.===============================Some of the other rather spiffing shows available now and always if you signup @ www.TheBox.bz:Comedy: The Office, Peep Show, Coupling, Chef, Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, The IT Crowd, Brass Eye, Nathan Barley, Young Ones, Monty Python, Blackadder, Alan Partridge, Father Ted, Coupling, Little Britain, Mr Bean, Extras, Green Wing, Mighty BooshDrama: Casualty, Holby City, The Bill, Hustle, Skins, Shameless, Ashes To AshesEntertainment: Faking It, Derren Brown, Scrapheap Challenge, Strictly Come Dancing, Wife SwapGame/Quiz Shows: Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Have I Got News For You, Deal Or No Deal (UK)Education/Documentary: Planet Earth, Horizon, Panorama, Mark Thomas (Comedy) ProductFood: Hell\'s Kitchen, Jamie Oliver, The F Word, Kitchen Nightmares, Masterchef, Great British Menu, Gordon Ramsay\'s CookalongHome/Property/Garden: Property Ladder, How Clean Is Your House?, Changing Rooms, Grand Designs, Homes Under The Hammer, To Buy Or Not To BuyMotoring: Top Gear, Fifth GearMusic: Top Of The Pops, Jools HollandReality: Big Brother, Celebrity Big Brother, I\'m a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!, Any Dream Will Do, Grease, Pop Idol, Wife Swap, X Factor, Badger Or Bust, Apprentice UK, Dragons\' DenSci-Fi: Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, TorchwoodSport: Football (Soccer), Cricket, Rugby, Snooker, Darts, Formula One (F1GP)Soaps: Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Neighbours, HollyoaksStyle/Fashion: What Not To Wear, Project CatwalkKids: Teletubbies, Blue Peter, Tikkabilla, Andy Pandy, Postman Pat, Shoebox Zoo, Brum, Bob The Builder, Young Dracula, Sarah Jane Adventures, Shaun The Sheep
