EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the magnificent Chesters Roman Fort, located along Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. The image beautifully captures a view of the barracks, showcasing an intriguing stone-lined drain that runs between the blocks. As we gaze upon this ancient architectural marvel, we are transported to a bygone era when Roman soldiers once called this fort their home. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in every stone speak volumes about the grandeur and sophistication of Roman engineering. The photograph allows us to appreciate not only the scale of this remarkable structure but also its practicality. The stone-lined drain serves as a testament to the Romans' advanced understanding of sanitation systems, even during those early times. Bob Skingle's expertly captured image invites us into this historical site, enticing our curiosity and imagination. It encourages us to explore further and learn more about the rich history that unfolded within these walls centuries ago. Through Historic England's lens, we are reminded of how important it is to preserve such cultural heritage sites for future generations.
