Roman Remains, Aldborough

I mentioned the village of Aldborough some years ago. The day we went the English Heritage site was closed. In September 2023 it was open.

It’s a small site up a lane in the village but it opens out into somethig more substantial. There is also a small museum attached.

We wandered round both.

Reconstructed and coloured sculpture. The fragments in relief (found on the site) were on display elsewhere but this is how they would have appeared in Roman times:-
