Join me as I explore the 2000 year old remains of one of Roman Britain's principal cities, abandoned, deep in the Hampshire countryside.

The other end of the flue was right down just below Wheal Kitty where there is a big patch of ground with no vegetation growing. Small boys were sent along the flue to scrape arsenic from the walls.

Looks like there is, or was, a good water source in the town, talking of which I recently came across a channel you might find interesting Isaac Moreno Gallo. One of his recent videos explored the water distribution tunnels, from Roman times, underneath Carmona, which I visited earlier this year. Although in Spanish I think you can setup English subtitles.

I always wondered why it was abandoned, then stumbled across a video on you tube called Roman Britain the work of giants crumbled - by fall of civilizations, which offers a great explanation of why many of the roman settlements were abandoned. It seems when the romans left those remaining did not want to habit where their past masters had lived.

    Pretty certain that no "Tigers" ever graced that arena. Not that none were ever brought into the Roman Empire from their natural home range way to the East since the Romans certainly traded with the Indian Sub-continent, but such limited exotica would have been reserved for places closer to Rome. 😉 Lions, Leopards and Cheetahs though just might have made it before the Empire's appetite for their version of Fox-hunting cleaned out much of the Mediterranean area's big cats. 🙄😊

    OMG that brought back some memories. I was born and grew up in Kings Worthy when it was much less built up (BTW we always spelt it as “Kingsworthy” and you can still see that spelling on some old maps). Anyhow spent many a weekend / evening walking the old railway and playing in the pill boxes and worthy down platform and buildings. You would always meet other kids playing up there. You could walk for miles before they filled in the bridges. If you had carried on along Springvale road you would of encountered what we just new as the “Old Railway Bridge” next to legion lane. I believe this led to Alresford but I could be completely wrong lol. Anyhow enough rambling. Great video.

I don't dispute your speculation that the footprint was restricted by the passage of the tramway, but as a resident of Helsby all of my life, I thought you might like to know a little local knowledge about how they came about their name.

    Hi it’s Mark was made up with the ones you did on Chester and the Roman part I love Chester I go every Friday only living in Wirral and like you look around for Roman remains. I suggest at somepoint you maybe look into doing about the 1960s development one you maybe aware but if not in the 1960s a big development happened in Chester due to the amount of congestion with traffic. That’s how the ringroad came about they smashed through that part of the medieval wall that’s how st martins way came about and so many old town houses where demolished that’s why outside the walls looks so modern today due to that development. Also another one the English civil war that played a major part in Chester’s history so many old buildings where destroyed and apart of the wall near the river got hit to and some evidence is clear near the Roman gardens. Also King Charles the first stayed there at gamol house today the brewery tap on lower bridge street near ye olde kings heads pub another historic one. There you go given you something to work on.

I believe that (somewhere just north of the modern Winnall flats) the 1933 Winchester bypass had an underpass for the Avington and Magdalen camp railway (but 1933 bypass, 1918 line to camps closed?
