Hadrians Wall
is my next contribution for the new theme at
I used one of my stamped and painted journal pages as a base.
The map, photo etc were added in my digital program.
Some images were found on a Free to use Google search.
If you look closely at the map, there is a X near the wall.
This is an old map print but it is also indicates the area where we live.
About 40 years ago they were repairing the road through the village,
work was to be stopped, when they came across the remaining stonework of a Roman Turret.
They knew it was there, but they were taking the opportunity to do more archeology.
. Experts were called, we took the children from the school to see, the by now deep excavation.
While it was all recorded.
Sadly due to its position it was carefully covered and the road repaired.
This is a piece of the wall open to visitors at Heddon on the Wall.
Just over the top of the rise you can see our village in the distance.
Thank you for stopping by to see me today,
your comments are always appreciated.

Super page Yvonne and a very interesting piece of history. We have visited various parts of the wall in years past and I am always amazed at how much of it remains, you live in a beautiful part of our country and I really miss out visits "up North"

Love the page you made about the history of your area. The last picture looks very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteCool page and I love seeing the photos of the wall. I sometimes wonder if these ancient walls still remain. But how cool to see that it is there, and that it is part of your local area. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredibly beautiful area you live in, Yvonne, steeped in history and ancient architecture. This is a fabulous AJJ entry. It was also good to see where you call home!
ReplyDeleteA great scenery page. It's an interesting place.

Very interesting to me Yvonne, thanks for creating.xx {aNNie}
ReplyDeleteTerrific page Yvonne and an area I know well. These days, because we don't have a car, we go from Newcastle to Carlisle by train and the route follows Hadrian's Wall for most of the way. A very beautiful part of Britain.
