EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the remarkable Torside Roman Fortlet, nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Derbyshire. Dating back to ancient times, this Roman fortlet stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural prowess of its time. The image showcases the intricate earthwork that forms the foundation of this archaeological wonder. The meticulous design and strategic positioning of this fortlet are evident from above, highlighting its significance in safeguarding important trade routes during the Roman era. As we gaze upon this print by Dave MacLeod, our imagination takes flight, transporting us back to an era where soldiers once patrolled these very grounds. We can almost envision their daily routines within these walls - training exercises, communal gatherings, and moments of respite from their duties. The surrounding natural beauty adds another layer of allure to this historical site. The tranquil waters of Torside Reservoir reflect both nature's serenity and man's ingenuity in harnessing resources for survival. Historic England has preserved not just a moment frozen in time but also a piece of our collective heritage through this stunning photograph. It serves as a reminder that beneath our modern world lies layers upon layers of stories waiting to be discovered – stories that shaped who we are today. Let us cherish such glimpses into our past and appreciate how they connect us with those who came before us.
