Thoroughly researched and such professional presentation. A few TV companies could learn much from these videos on how to present history and archaeology! Another captivating walk and talk. Brilliant. Thank you 🙏
Carlisle and indeed Cumbria is a mysterious and fascinating place . When I return from away ,I feel something close round me like a comforting blanket . Its past is simply another aspect of its present .
Great video. I was back in my hometown a few weeks ago and I felt rather nostalgic as I wandered around, soaking up Carlisle's rich history, so it's lovely to see all the evidence for Roman activity!
Absolutely fascinating, thank you. I moved to Carlisle earlier this year and walk my dog in almost all the areas in your video and whilst i knew there was a Roman connection did not realise i was walking right in amongst it! Thanks again
Hi, If you look into Rickerby park from the bridge over the Eden you can see a bridge footing. I believe it was a Roman footing that was removed from river and re-built. i think it was Roman but it may have been medieval. There also used to be an uncovered section of the wall in the Cumbria park hotel which I used to show visitors, covered up now though. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
I lived in Carlton Gardens until 1975 / 6 and rememberer the headline in the local paper 'Head finds ditch in garden' which was Jack (?) Rawlings, Head of a Special School who found a Roman Ditch in the bottom of his garden in Cromwell Crescent just round the corner from where I lived. (Stanwix Carlisle). Don't know if this helps any but it was nice to see my old stomping ground before I moved away to N'casle to larn te talk proper like.
It would be nice to see it displayed if only underneath a glass floor but the archaeology is badly fragmented after centuries of stone robbing and there’s no money to build and more importantly continue funding such a museum. The sandstone section of HW further east was reburied after only a few years as several winters took its toil.
Sorry to correct but it's not 'Stanic' its 'Stanwix' pronounced 'Stanicks' There was also a dig in Dec 22 at the site of the old bath house and the Cumbria park has closed its doors to the public and now being ran by Serco holding asylum seekers

Any extra info is good 👍
Fantastic commentry,as i'm from carlisle,you must of gone past the cricket club where they have the bath house and villa.
Excellent stuff.
I as a Carlisle resident wanted the cricket club excavations to be kept visible and retained as an attraction for visitors and residents alike.
It would be nice to see it displayed if only underneath a glass floor but the archaeology is badly fragmented after centuries of stone robbing and there’s no money to build and more importantly continue funding such a museum.

loved it, thank you
I put the cables / lights in the castle moat in the 1980s.
Definitely a job to remember
Imagine no cars no traffic just roman army walking those roads
They are digging it up again.
Yes last few days
They are hoping to resume the excavation next year

There was also a dig in Dec 22 at the site of the old bath house and the Cumbria park has closed its doors to the public and now being ran by Serco holding asylum seekers
Thanks for the info, I was back at the dig last month so I must put out an update
