In the foreground are the excavated remains of half a Roman amphitheatre. An 18th-century building sits in the background on top of the other half of the unexcavated Roman amphitheatre.
Interesting few days at #CIfA2024 in Chester - even managed to find some time to visit my Mum's old school, which sits on top of the unexcavated part of the Roman amphitheatre! Dee House, built in 1739 for a wealthy merchant, became a convent & school in 1854; it closed in 1976.
Partnership working is key to tackling #heritagecrime! The @CIfA_HC session at #cifa2024 brought together uniformed officers & archaeologists from a wide range of backgrounds. It showed just how much progress has been made in recent years & we are made up to have been part of it!
Great to see three of the #heritagecrime prevention projects we have been part of discussed in today’s @CIfA_HC #CIfA2024 session!
The final speaker is @hefinmeara from @HE_Maritime talking about #heritagecrime in the marine zone (one of our favourite topic)

Next up is @sheruggi talking about the results of our @HistoricEngland funded project looking at training and skills for #heritagecrime practitioners and volunteers
