- A walking tour of the upper roman town of Lindum know today as Lincoln in eastern England. The walk takes in many visible remains that can be seen today. My thanks to David Vale for his illustrations that bring the roman town back to life www.buymeacoffee.com/petesavin
What a lovely town
Love my home town, great video, thank you for sharing
City.
The emerging view of the front of the cathedral as you walk through Exchequer Gate arch is a special thing. I got a snap of it recently on a beautiful summer's day. A magnificent reminder of the past and a testament to our country's rich and unique history.
I spent a month vacationing in Lincoln. Roman culture, 1066 and William the conquerer, the Magna Carta, Lincoln Cathedral (attic tour and graffiti tours are best), St Mary Magdalene church with historic bell, steep hill, Lincoln museum, Adam and Eve tavern, Bomber command museum, the people and experiences were great.
Very interesting indeed. Thanks a lot for the video.
Very interesting and well presented. I have had a lifetime interest in roman and viking history in and around Lincoln. I am a keen metal detectorist who has donated many finds to museums, mostly in Norfolk and now returned to Lincolnshire. Lincoln is blessed with an excellent museum that is well used and great to see lots of organised school trips. I play squash at the Eastgate Club and take refular walks over to the Bailgate, down Steep Hill and back (gasp, gasp) every inch has so much history, thanks, Liam
I watched Time Team for years, thanks for sharing Britain’s Roman landmarks.
Thank you
Thank you, Pete. Lincoln is just over an hour away and I keep saying to my partner "We should go so I can see Roman stuff". There's more extant than I thought. Thanks for the inspiration, your videos are fantastic.
Thanks very much, there’s more to see in the lower city so I might return for a 2nd video but I have tweeted most of the sites as well
Just wow. Imagine being surrounded by all of that antiquity still standing. Thank you for the tour.
Thanks 🙏🏻 glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for this wonderful, interesting video of Roman Lincoln. I had no idea Lincoln was a Roman town so this was a lovely surprise. Its great to see so many parts of the old walls have been preserved.
If I ever get back over to the UK I'd like to visit your town.
born and bred in lincoln, there are a few spots i have never seen there. when i go "home" i will look them up.
I love these vids, thanks for making them. Really interesting to see them in so much detail, especially when the sites are so far away from me.
Many thanks 🙏🏻 I really what to show up the history
Really interesting facts about my home town. Thank you 😊
I lived there as an ignorant student... Will have to see these roman remains on my next revisit.. as I missed a lot of them when I lived there.
Brilliant video. There is also another Roman gate within the old TSB on Bank street. I remember having a chance to see it on a school trip many years ago.
Thanks, there’s much to see but sadly rarely gets seen
Fascinating. So glad I found your TH-cam. Thank you for sharing.
Visited Lincoln Castle in 2018.Really fantastic visit.
Thank you. Excellent guided tour. Took me back to my student years when our art history tutor Professor Dr.John Lord would explain Roman Lindum and take the class through the roman remains. Great vid indeed.
Thank you
Superb. I excavated in Lincoln in the 1980's, mostly on the Waterfront developments and many watching briefs all over the city. We had a section of Roman Road on Hungate and part of a carved stone relief was found. Good memories from my old home town
did you dig near the tsb and the dock part on the witham?
@@michaelbenton7133 The sites I worked on in Lincoln were St.Marks, Hungate, St.Benedicts, parts of the water front development, including bits of the Brayford area and where the Odeon cinema had stood, the Lawn Hospital grounds and lots of watching briefs and small excavations around the city. Lots of multi-period sites but a fair bit of Roman
@@dm51964 was much found at the lawns? I was also surprised to learn about the old church at st benedicts. p.s. i really think that they have spoilt Lincoln, it's like any other town/city in the uk. it appears to have lost it's heritage.
The Lawn had different excavation phases and part of a Roman town house, Medieval cemetery and a bell casting pit were found when I excavated there in the 80's. The city has changed but with it becoming a university city and has helped to increase the footfall but parts of Lincoln have not changed much
Thank you for the time it took to make this video!
Many thanks, really informative. I am planning to visit Lincoln and the rest of Lincolnshire this summer - this a lovely introduction. Cheers
Thanks so much, interesting visit
Thank you for this interesting tour of Lincoln. I lived outside for many years in my youth, and it seems so much prettier, cleaner and quite different from how I remember it! Not a bad thing.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you for the fascinating tour!
Watching in California.
@@lisascenic thanks 🙏🏻
Great tour thank you!
Really interesting walk and talk - thank you Peter
Good video!
Well done .Cheers 😎🥃
5:45 Now that's a majestic gate
Really interesting, thanks for posting
I am thankful that you stick to the facts about the disappearence of the Ninth Hispanis.. Refreshing not to be swamped in fiction.
The wall from newport arch comes through my garden.The garden is over 50ft wide and the wall is the same height as the arch.I carries on through everyone's garden.
Great city , excellent video , I really enjoyed it.
Thanks 🙏🏻
I live in a village just south of Lincoln and found this very interesting. You mentioned the forums and temples with the suggestion of a grand colonnade. I once went to a massage therapist who has her treatment room in the basement near the Newport Arch. In that basement is the base of a Roman pillar!
Wow that’s special
Massage therapist? I bet that pillar wasn't the only thing erected thing.
Oh wow 2000 years old intact arches
Lindum Colonia (Lincoln) fondata dai Romani; Roma = CIVILIZZAZIONE, il più grandioso e glorioso Impero della storia, Roma aeterna 💪
Lincoln ( Lindum Colonia) Roman Latin for The Pool Colony.. originally an iron age settlement around what's now the Brayford Pool next to the University.
I read that LIN came from the Iron Age tribe, meaning POOL?
Yes the original names like Lindon just simply ment Pool .. or a body of water .. then Lindum in Roman Latin.
Next time you’re in Lincoln, when you’re on the Bailgate, follow the brick markers representing the Roman Forum columns North, along the row of shops. There is a gift shop that has a Roman column in the basement. It’s huge. If you ask the shop owner they’ll let you go down and have a look. It’s great!
Thanks
@@romanhistorywalks6526 another part of the wall is visible from a cul de sac/car park on Cecil street. Also, If you go to St Mary’s Guildhall on the high street they have a glass floor inside, revealing the original Ermine Street. It’s incredible. You can see cart tracks worn into the stone.
The Collection (museum) has some interesting artefacts, including an entire Roman Legion diorama of painted miniatures.
There's more of the Roman wall underneath the council headquarters with an information board
Thanks I’ll have to track that down
#ChefsKiss This is perfection! So glad I found this channel. At 11 minutes into the video, is that some of the old render in situ behind the waste bins?
👌🏻
Ahhh you're back, I look forward to seeing your vids, I'll share it on FB but we are fighting shallowness these days, do you think the landcape along Hadrians Wall look like it does now or was it full of trees ?
In the Neolithic and Bronze Age tree felling was very much big business added to that the climate dipped so upland areas became less productive . Tree cover was probably similar or less as the army used timber for cooking, metallurgy and building
@@romanhistorywalks6526 you know your stuff mind, good luck your channel
was much found at the lawns?
Ad. 10:40 " Somebody await me. " - Is it more positive as "Somebody wait for me." or is it more poetic?
Lincoln is a Brythonic Celtic Cymric name.
