English Heritage: Corbridge Roman Town

This is about half a mile from where I live and have to confess I have only been a couple of times in the forty years I have lived here.    I took this from the car park and there has been such a lot more excavating since I was there, so think I must go back and have a look around.

Not all of the sites on Hadrian's Wall were heavily guarded fortresses.  
Corbridge was a supply base and bustling town where Romans and Civilians would pick up food and provisions.  Today you can walk through the town's streets and experience a time-capsule of Roman life.  It remained a vibrant community right up until the end of Roman Britain in the early years of the 5th century.
You can see a valuable hoard of artifacts found during excavations including armour, trinkets etc. in the Museum.
