The road over High Street in the English Lake District - is it Roman?

a talk by John Poulter

• Brief Summary

This presentation is largely based upon a series of photographs which were taken when the author walked the full length of this so-called Roman road - and back - in 1968. At the time he had every reason to believe that the road was Roman, but doubts have arisen since. Comparisons are offered with pictures of other Roman roads traversing high ground in northern Britain, and the author draws upon the experience which he has accumulated since to reach a verdict which is negative. Members watching the presentation may, of course, draw their own conclusions.

This presentation will take place via Zoom, and will be followed by a Q&A session. Attendees will receive a link by email after registration, and on the day of the talk. The meeting room will open to the public at 7:15pm with the talk starting at 7:30pm.
