Good God!?! Wallsend really exists? Everyone in the UK thought it was a myth ;P
I joke - it's a bit of the UK I've never managed to get to (although I've done other bits of The Wall). It looks worth visitng, thank you for tagging a 'should go look' on my local map :D
(The weather is supposed to be better by Friday, if that helps any...)
This is brilliant, so many fantastic pics! What is odd is how the ancient past sits alongside the present. Usually, or at least often, ancient sites are surrounded by countryside, half buried in grass, and though I knew Segedunum isn't, it was still odd to see steel structures in the background. I also love that some people have a bit of Hadrian's Wall practically in their back garden

If the red phone booths go, it will be a real shame. Those are iconic.
The Roman ruins are kind of weird-looking -- just ghosts of buildings, since so little is actually left, and so much reconstruction and replica work. Dachau kind of looks like that, though it isn't nearly as old.
A ringmail shirt that was, of course, intensely interesting to Bobby. The remains were found within one of the barracks.

What stood out for me was the gothic style. We have a church here in that style founded in the 13th or 14th century by an English princess so who knows. I found this and this.
