A lost Roman bridge
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.Месяц назад
Deep in the Shropshire countryside on the line of the roman road known as Watling street (west) lies an almost unknown and crumbling bridge abutment crossing Radnor brook. Excavation in the 1950’s showed it was resurfaced at least 3 times and probably had a timber superstructure. It is one of 10 left in the UK and is at high risk of being lost forever unless work is done to consolidate it soon.
Where did the builders of Hadrian’s Wall live?

A look at the temporary Roman camp of Burnhead slightly north of Hadrian’s Wall which may have housed troops building the wall and forts in the AD120’s. The site is a rare example of a camp although many are known about. The camp and surrounding area is scheduled and protected under law.

The Roman signal station at Filey
Просмотров 6522 месяца назад
The site of the late Roman watchtower on Carr Naze near Filey has virtually gone due to erosion by the sea but five stones were recovered and are now in the crescent gardens within the town. It was built in the late 4th cent as raids increased along the Yorkshire coastline, the stones probably held oak posts within the tower holding up the superstructure.
A Roman milestone of Hadrian
Просмотров 2653 месяца назад
A milestone of the reign of Hadrian found close to the city of Lancaster. Thousands of these milestones must have been placed along the Roman network of roads in Britain but very few survive into the modern world. The emperor may well have seen this on his travels in AD122 from the Wall that bears his name

The replica of Hadrian’s Wall at Vindolanda
Просмотров 2734 месяца назад
In the 1970’s the Vindolanda trust built a replica of a section of Hadrian’s wall and turret which still stands today. It was built of roman stone from the fort which came from later field walls which the farmers had taken for their own use. The replica is just one interpretation of how the wall may have looked but other suggestions include no wall walk of crenellations and possibly the whole w...

Another little gem of a video.
Another gap in my knowledge of Roman Britain expertly filled.
Another thoroughly professional production. Educational and informative. Love your work. 👍
@@dirksawyer5667 thanks 🙏🏻
Mind blowing.
Carlisle and indeed Cumbria is a mysterious and fascinating place . When I return from away ,I feel something close round me like a comforting blanket . Its past is simply another aspect of its present .
If these walls could talk.... I'm always fascinated by the areas in the walls where work was done, either to repair or to fill. Amazing they still stand and are so accessible.
Hi, If you look into Rickerby park from the bridge over the Eden you can see a bridge footing. I believe it was a Roman footing that was removed from river and re-built. i think it was Roman but it may have been medieval. There also used to be an uncovered section of the wall in the Cumbria park hotel which I used to show visitors, covered up now though. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
@@eddyd8745 thanks, I showed someone round the area today even though the fort is invisible it’s still fascinating to walk the area
Great piece of fantasy archeo.
@@StanleyMilgram-j5e fantastic or fantasy?
@@romanhistorywalks6526 Fantasy.
That is an epic find, these are the relics which deserve protection. Any idea of the build date?
@@PASTFINDERexploring probably late 1st to mid 2nd century but the archaeology shows resurfacing so it was in use for centuries
@@romanhistorywalks6526 unusual that the rivers course hasn't changed in almost 2 millennia. There can't be many roman abutments still flanking thier rivers.
Well done a great Roman relic you have enabled me to see thank you
Been to Viriconium a couple of times. Never knew anything of this. Fascinating.
Very interesting
Superb. The most comprehensive commentary I've heard about this marvellous site. Thank you.
@@dirksawyer5667 thanks
It's only one good flood away from disappearing forever. Except on this video and in your memory.
@@redtobertshateshandles the relevant bodies know it needs urgent action but funding currently is lacking
Another cracking video. Thank you for your work, educating and entertaining.
To use your word, phenomenal. You really are the master of revealing hidden gems of Roman Britain.
What a brilliant find.
I'd want to know which God I'm leaving a tip for.................after all, it might be the God of lifetime mishaps!!
phenomenal, do you reckon that is still original?
@@Chameleon569 there’s substantial Roman stone within it but possibly medieval repairs to the upper section
Fantastic. I had no knowledge of that one. Something extra special when there’s surviving stone work. Excellent find.
Fantastic channel ,very interesting ,thankyou for the great content
@@markthomasjenkins3907 thanks
Just found your channel, I love Roman History
@@waynehiggins16 hope you find it useful
Where is he going now?😂
Nearly missed you : luckily l didn't 🎉🎉🎉🎉
wish you would film having that "quick pint"!
@@superditdit48 good idea next time ( the pint was very good BTW)
Would you find a Roman road if you'd dig where the path is?
@@celsus7979 the first narrow section I walked on was used as a later quarry track but certainly fragmented remains would be under the surface
I'll be there with a shovel!
@@celsus7979 it’s listed as a historic site so better not to avoid jail time
I'm named after that castle!
@@774Rob castle Rob 😃
@@romanhistorywalks6526 Archery runs in the family too.
Great video!
Fantastic to see the Roman artefacts in the church!
A real treat as always. The Norman reference reminds me of the magnificent Porchester site. Special mention about your superb photography which is very professional. Thank you for posting. Coffee bought.
@@dirksawyer5667 many thanks 🙏🏻
Whenever i see these ancient structures i wonder where they poop.I think of the ancient plumbers who had the unglamorous job of making life more pleasant for their fellow humans.Thanks to them on behalf of all humanity!🇨🇦👍
Very interesting. Would like to visit there one day.
It certainly didn't pay, to be a goat in Roman Britain!! 77 goat skins to make one tent!!!
Wall is a great place to visit and it used to have a visitor center, that appears to have been closed. I recently went again and found the Sat Nav very confusing to follow. A great video to watch, thank you.
Love the detailed organisation detail that went into setting up these camps and sleeping arrangements!
I will have to check that out. I take it you've seen the marching camp on Mastiles Gate, near to Malham Tarn. Similar level of preservation, I'd say. Thanks for the video.
@@WC21UKProductionsLtd hi, I’ve passed but never visited, could be an autumn trip
🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's in northern England, not northern Britain.
@@iainb1577 anywhere north of Manchester is northern Britain
@@romanhistorywalks6526 From a southern English perspective only.
@@iainb1577 I’m born and bred northerner so that doesn’t wash
This lot are all officers???? All in red tunics, when it is known that only offers from Centurion up wards wore red, because of the expense. The Legionaries wore an undyed sheep's wool, [classed as white] using wool in winter, and linen in summer. This was a very cheap way of kitting out the soldiers in tunics.
Wow that Roman stone in the church is amazing! Good video I have gladly subscribed!
Great vid, really interesting. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on Colchester Castle. Recognised as a Norman Keep, that some say is also the blue print for the Tower Of London, but I have a nagging thought that it is a Roman Fort built after the sacking of the town by Queen Boudicca.
@@lingerslongest I know both keeps are based on pre conquest fortifications in Normandy but without more research that’s where my expertise ends. The temple foundations destroyed in AD60-61 are under the castle but to a later fort I’m unaware of that. I makes sense there may have been a short term military presence when the revolt was over.
@@romanhistorywalks6526 Thanks for replying. I'll check out preconquest Norman architecture in Normandy.
Lavatris? Is that latin for shithole?🤔
I can only imagine the banter that went on in the bath house!
Always a pleasure when the notification pops up that there's a new video. Thanks for taking the time to make them, always look forward to the next one.
@@anthonysimm thanks 🙏🏻
Your grasp of Roman British history and the ability to turn that into the geography of our beautiful land is fascinating. Well done!
@@brynmorjenkins4376 thanks
Great, thanks - you always seem to leave us wanting more..............!!
Thank you 🎉🎉
Thank you my friend for telling about the heron pit. You are a star 👍
P.S , it's my surname also !!
I’m curious how often this brick wall was repointed if ever
Its worth mentioning that the milestone is often missed by visitors as it is not actually on the Vindolanda site, its across the road from the back entrance.
