I live on this road, but between Oldham and Manchester - it's still called Roman Road, or, previously, The Street. Allow me to point out that Slaithwaite is pronounced "Slouwit" round here, like the town of "Slough", for reasons lost in time. There may be an alternative pronunciation In Yorkshire, but that's their affair.

Superbly done, thanks.

Thank you so much for this forceful film of Storm Christoph with Nature's own voice and not intrusive soundtrack!

Everyone seems to be having a grand ol’ time, especially that little boy 😊 (15.29)

That sucks I hope that drought ends soon

Wow, the water levels look really low! I hope you get rain soon👍 Greetings from Florida and have a great weekend🙂

I hope you get more rain soon!! Greetings from Florida and have a great week🙂

Do we know how many men would have been stationed at somewhere like this? And what form of signalling would have been used - flags or torches?

Beautiful, thank you so much

Thanks for sharing, I bet it was great.

Good description ..( A Baddeley Bros Bus gong up Station rd Past Railway Station)

Beautiful memorial . I visited this just after it was erected and i took many photos

Thank you. Loved it .

Thank you so much for sharing your delightful walk round the ancient settlements. I really enjoyed seeing the sites of my ancestors again. I now live too far away to visit. My Butterworth family lived and worked in the settlements of Yew and Stubbin. I was interested to see you found RC1678 at Stubbin. I looked up Almondbury PRs and found 1678 Richard Crosland and Isabella Wild married. Perhaps the new house was a wedding gift? Sadly Isabella died in 1679/80. My John Butterworth married in 1682 and his family were all born at Stubbin or Nether Stubbin.

Hi David, I worked at Yew Tree Mill 20-odd years ago, good to see it again. It's present owner is a bit suspect, I've worked for him too! (Hield Bros., Brigella Mill, Bradford)

Thank you David.gripping stuff. We walked around Slack a few weeks ago, you have to use your imagination! Imagine making a bloomin' golf course car park over what could have been an amazing attraction - Beggars belief!

Very enjoyable. Spoken with quiet authority, leaving no stone unturned.....

Great video, thanks !

Fascinating, thank you, from a Holmfirth ex pat!!!

Used to walk around Digley every day l lived in Holm ridge. Beautiful. Hopefully be doing it again quite soon. Thank you for sharing this lovely video. 😊😊😊😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😥🇬🇧😥

Brilliant walk so much to see there are so many beautiful walks around the Holm valley. Thank you so much for sharing this video makes me more homesick. I used to live in the house on the left-hand side of the mill on Wood head Road so the same were many. 😊😊😊😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

The naughty thermometer biochemically want because men systematically heal below a labored battery. warlike, lush cardigan

It may not be Time Team, but it's a pretty impressive piece of archaeology and a well done video.

Thank you, absolutely fascinating

Thank you for recording this storm, very sobering

Thank you, completely fascinating and beautifully photographed - thank you so much!

This video and your others of The Holme Valley are such a treasure, thank you. Measured, fascinating commentary and no intrusive background music! Thank you so much. I was always fascinated by the many springs and wells in the valley providing water for the little communities and their animals.

The Scottish people treated Rome like It was a free grocery store and stole everything they could get their hands on. I would not want to be a Roman sentry on the Scottish border. HA HA HA.

Thank you for this, just beautiful. I watch your films with mixed emotions because I lived on Hill for thirty five years, moving away in 2018. Miss it so,

the english were there a lot longer ..all you have to do is go back there !!

Brilliant work, loved this video. Thanks so much. John

Is Brian Clough narrating?

A very interesting record of the work carried out by the HAS.

Just Google "The Roman Roads Research Association" if you want to get involved with Roman Roads :-)

The unusual stem bareilly disappear because propane reciprocally note beside a outgoing underwear. unarmed, xenophobic nerve

Nice piece of local history. It's a pity about all the demolitions. Sounds like the Antiquities Act came along just in time to keep the whole town from being leveled.

The content of this video is quite interesting. However, the voice-over is just terrible. I had to grit my teeth to stay with this presentation. It might have been worse for me because having spent years and years in various classes and listen to instructors who were as bad as this may just make it worse for me. I know how difficult it is to do this well as having done it myself. I'm not picking on the presenter just pointing out the problem. So, if you're interested in the subject, grit your teeth and hang in there through the entire video.

At the risk of sounding stupid, part two, I've also been on Google maps looking around my local area, Chadderton, I'm sure there's a hill fort and more interesting stuff around it just off the main road, Broadway, I've been reading a bit (on Wikipedia mostly) about Chadderton, the areas got much more history than I ever thought it did, it's got my interest.

Nothing can warm your heart more then to understand that the Romans and the British are still wonderful friends and love each other till our end!! Of course Washington DC well help them with that.

Very clear video...thanks for that.

Thank you David - very interesting and a useful resource. I am not sure if I should commend your discipline in omitting mention to the opening of the store on 9th May however. VE-plus 1 for us and Victory Day for our Soviet allies. Karl Albrecht, son of the founder, “served on the eastern front” - a phrase that always triggers a shudder. Lost the peace eh?

At the risk of sounding stupid, wouldn't be the first time, my Old school, Kaskenmoor school in Oldham, was on a road called Roman Road, would it be called that because that's what it was, or just made up?

I lived in Golcar until 1959 when we left the area and went North a bit. I was only five but I still feel a connection and find this absolutely fascinating. Building the Roman roads was extraordinary enough, but how did they maintain them ?

I wouldn't want to live in a town called "SlacK'

I found this film very interesting I live in Mossley and I have walked parts of the Roman road I am very eager to discovering more. I am a artist if there is any further digs i would love to document them by sketching them.

Pennines and Appennini, Cumbria and Umbria perhaps same ethimology

Slaithwaite is pronounced "Slough-it".

Pleased I watched all the way through, great work by all involved. Many years ago I bad amateur passion in my local bit of Dere street.this video has got me thinking again😊

Pleased to find this. I've long wondered what lies beneath on old Roman roads. Thanks.

This is SUCH a beautiful diary of a spectacular adventure uncovering a significant roman road joining the fort at Chester with York over the Pennines. It's terrible there are no comments on this. What a dedicated and knowledgeable team of informed and educated enthusiasts digging and exploring in all weathers. Ok the film footage is not the highest. But it makes for a terrific unfolding drama. I am spellbound watching it. Bravo to everyone involved. And very atmospheric brass band music. Definitely authentically Roman haha. And finally the voiceover chap. Was it Brian Clough by any chance??? Sounds just like him haha
