Some curious journalistic hyperbole here that neglects to say what makes the excavators so certain. The statement 'Previous information about arsenals in Roman legion camps came exclusively from information contained in written sources' is also debatable.

A fine group dated 1897 on the corner of Marsh Street South, Hanley, with a bookshop on the ground floor. Stoke-on-Trent has a fair number of fine commercial buildings of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, often on corners, although not all in such good condition as this

Have you ever seen a Viking-Age Processional Way? Archaeologists from UofG Archaeology and Clyde Archaeology are uncovering the early medieval metalled roadway that connected Govan Old, home of the early medieval The Govan Stones ⚔🛡👑, to the apparent assembly mound of the now lost Doomster Hill.

READ: Barcelona has a plan to create a city-wide network of quieter streets that are easier and safer to travel on foot or by bike. Instead of bumper-to-bumper cars, streets will be lined with trees, play parks, bike-lanes, benches and green people places. politico.eu/article/barcel…

Stoney Road Allotments in Coventry are examples of 'detached town gardens', now called allotments. 💚 Once common, few remain. Where they do survive, they still offer the treasured access to greenspace and benefits to wellbeing that they were initially intended to provide.

Quarterly Meeting Report. We had a good meeting with a talk from Linda Webb, with help from Hoole History & Heritage Society, about the lost gardens of #Hoole, #Chester. This was new info to many of us, thank you Linda. The illustration shows the lost rock garden at Hoole House.
