In AD122, Emperor Hadrian visited Britain and ordered a wall to be built.
Keeper of Archaeology, Alex Croom introduces 'Building the Wall' an exhibition exploring how Hadrian's Wall was built and who built it.
Focusing on the section of the wall between Wallsend and the original end of the Wall in Newcastle, the exhibition looks at questions such as where did they get the stone? What tools did they use? How did they transport everything? How did they deal with the rivers and streams that needed to be crossed?
'Building the Wall' includes ground-breaking new research from the excavation of the section of Wall just outside the fort at Wallsend, including how water was supplied to the fort and bath-house, and the original appearance of the fort’s west gate.
Building the Wall is on display at Segedunum Roman Fort until Sunday 12 March 2023. Admission charges apply. For more information, please visit segedunumroman...
