Corbridge Roman Town, Corbridge, Newcastle upon Tyne, 2.8.18.This the second time I have photographed this extensive location and every time I visit I discover something new and intriguing. This town underwent several major revisions through its time as a military and then civilian adjunct to life at Hadrian’s Wall. Pictured are the following:Roman columns outside the two granaries. (Image 1)Stairs to a strongroom under a Roman Principia or Headquarters in the West Compound. (Image 2)One of the few (if not the only) surviving Roman window or vent in the Roman granaries (and possibly in Britain). (Image 3)A long view of the ‘Stanegate’ or main paved route in Roman Corbridge. (Image 4)The raised paved floor of one of the granaries. (Image 5)Water tank floor and wall fragment near the Temple or Shine in the West Compound. (Image 6)One of the Roman columns in front of the two granary structures. (Image 7) -- source link
