To the Humber

When I was in NZ I replied many times to the question 'What do you miss about England?'. The jokey answers were always about foods (Yorkshire tea, spam fritters and chips, Galaxy chocolate, decent cheese etc) But once serious I would always at the history. I always missed being able to see and touch everyday things that were many hundreds of years old.
Well now I am back and living amongst it and am loving it again :-)
Here is what Wiki says about where I live:-
Winteringham is a village in North Lincolnshire, England, and on the south bank of the Humber Estuary. The Romans had a settlement here probably called Ad Abum.The Roman road Ermine Street from London and Lincoln to the south crossed the Humber here by way of a ferry or ford to Brough, and from there continued to York. The pre-Roman ridge way also resumed here, called Yarlesgate or Earlsgate, on its route south and south-west towards the Midlands and South West England.

The village, and its neighbour Winterton to the south, were possibly named after the first King of Lindsey - Wintra - though there are several other theories. By the time of Domesday it was a prosperous place with three mills, a fishery and a ferry and became the seat of a branch of the Marmion family.

Tonight I headed out to the Humber which is just a couple of miles away. On a road that has in one way or another been there since pre Roman times.
