Off the Walls IV

Lean over the City Walls at the Racecourse and you can see what looks like a lower wall, with a grassy bank above it. This is the remains of a Roman Quay Wall, from the days when the river flowed across what is now the racecourse and Roman galleys moored here to unload their cargo. It is probably second century, and about 35m long.
