Wall Re-Building

Following the partial collapse of a stretch of the Walls in 2008, an ambitious project is being undertaken to restore a 25 metre section. The wall is dismantled, stone by stone, and each stone is numbered and stored to be re-used when rebuilding starts. There have been some interesting discoveries within the wall. These include a Roman interval tower; a fragment of cornice from the defences; and a fragment of Roman tile with maker's signature.
