Ribchester (Part 2) - Roman Dig

We were given a guided tour of the dig and this picture taken from their Facebook page "Ribchester Revisited" shows the diggers at work uncovering what they believe is the road surface.

The previously excavated Granary.

The dig is going on adjacent St. Wilfrid's, Ribchester and we enjoyed a cup of coffee and slice of walnut cake in the peaceful church yard.

Ribchester (Part 1) - Stydd Church

A lovely summer's day out first to Brockholes Nature Reserve (see View Too Blog about this) and upon the recommendation of one of the guides there we drove to Ribchester where archaeologists are doing a dig behind the Roman Museum there. (Year 1 of a 5 year project).  We were also told of a lovely little walk to The Church of St. Saviour at Stydd.

Past the Almshouses

The walk back to the pub car park in Ribchester.
