The remains and outline of the granary at Arbeia Roman Fort in South Shields on South Tyneside. The fort was probably built in around AD 128 to guard the mouth of the River Tyne. 📸 My own. 📸 My own. #RomanFortThursday #Arbeia #RomanBritain #SouthShields
Arbeia was a Roman fort in South Shields, Tyne & Wear, England, now partially reconstructed. It was first excavated in the 1870s. All modern buildings on the site were cleared in the 1970s. The fort was built in AD 129 and from 198 it was altered in plan. It was abandoned c. 400. #RomanFortThursday

A colour photograph of a river flowing (from left to right) through agricultural land. There are swans on the water, and a small island splitting the course into two. Ripples in places suggest the water is shallow. There is a tree on the far bank, and a barn beyond it. In the far distance, Pendle Hill surveys the scene, beneath low, broken cloud.
The dastardly section of the #RiverRibble that eroded away the south east corner of the fort at #Ribchester (Bremetennacum). Harrumph.

Playmobil Roman cavalry trooper standing by his horse with the reconstructed turf and timber wall behind him.
Yearning for the Wall country, but unable to go just yet, & my last trip in November feels like years ago. Last stop on the way home was @vindolandatrust.bsky.social & their wonderful wall reconstructions.
Looking forward to new trips later in the spring!
