EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial drone view showcases the remarkable Richborough Roman Fort, located in Sandwich, Dover, South Thanet, Kent. The photograph captures the essence of this ancient archaeological site with its intricate earthwork and rich historical significance. Richborough Roman Fort stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Romans in Britain. As one gazes upon this print by Chris Redgrave from Historic England, they are transported back in time to an era where legions marched through these very grounds. The strategic location of this fort along the River Stour made it a vital hub for trade and military operations during Roman times. Its imposing walls and defensive structures were once home to soldiers who guarded against potential invasions from across the channel. The image beautifully highlights the meticulous craftsmanship that went into constructing such an impressive stronghold. From above, we can appreciate how each section seamlessly interlocks with another - a true marvel of engineering prowess. Beyond its architectural grandeur lies layers upon layers of history waiting to be unearthed by archaeologists. This print serves as a reminder that beneath our feet lie stories untold; fragments of lives lived centuries ago. Chris Redgrave's skillful capture allows us to admire not only the physical remnants but also ignites our imagination about what life might have been like within these walls all those years ago. It is truly a window into our past and an invitation to explore further into our shared heritage.
