About this event
SOLD OUT!
The last few years have seen a transformation in our understanding of Lancashire's Roman road network as a consequence of Lidar data becoming freely available.
The use of Lidar data to reveal the course of Roman roads has been a great success throughout the country. Imagery derived from this data is often able to show clearly the surviving remains of the road agger, terraces, side ditches and cuttings, often where they cannot be identified on the ground through traditional fieldwork. This has resulted in almost every road in Lancashire being located with high confidence.
Join us for this talk by David Ratledge, a former Civil Engineer working predominantly in the design and construction of roads and bridges for over 40 years. Since his retirement he has been able to devote his time to tracking down lost Roman roads in Lancashire, Cumbria, Cheshire, Norfolk and Suffolk - www.twithr.co.uk
