EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Darren Eddon showcases the remarkable Housesteads Roman Fort, nestled along Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. Stepping into the past, this image transports us to a time when Roman soldiers once roamed these ancient grounds. The focus of the photograph is on the well-preserved latrine block, offering an intriguing glimpse into everyday life at this formidable fortification. The intricate details captured in this image reveal the ingenious engineering employed by the Romans. Water troughs and channels are prominently displayed, illustrating their advanced sanitation system for efficient waste disposal. As we marvel at these remnants of a bygone era, it becomes evident that even amidst military operations and strategic planning, hygiene was not overlooked. Housesteads Fort stands as a testament to Roman ingenuity and their enduring legacy in Britain's history. This photograph invites us to reflect upon the lives of those who once called this place home – soldiers stationed here from distant lands with hopes and dreams of conquest. Darren Eddon's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of Hadrian's Wall stretching across rugged landscapes and the intimate details found within its ruins. It serves as a reminder that our present is built upon layers of rich heritage left behind by those who came before us. As we gaze upon this print from Historic England, let us be transported back in time and embrace our connection to these ancient civilizations that shaped our world today.
