ummidia quadratilla Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 That is very gentlemanly of you Mr. Ghost. Thank you. And it is indeed an easy one because I walked through this arch just last fall. It's the Newport Arch in Lincoln, England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfClayton Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) And it is indeed an easy one because I walked through this arch just last fall. It's the Newport Arch in Lincoln, England. Well done Ummidia! Ab-sol-ute-ly spot on! Over to you to set the next one. PS Would love to know if Maladict had the answer. PPS You should've said you were visiting Lincoln. I do guided tours of the City, and I have an open offer to all UNRV contributors of a freebie!

Maladict Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yes, I've had the pleasure of visiting Lincoln as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do guided tours of the City, and I have an open offer to all UNRV contributors of a freebie! Lincoln is a lovely city. I had a great time touring the Roman sites but would have taken you up on your offer if I had known. Next time! Though spring has sprung here, I'm off to snowy Calgary for a few days but I should be able to monitor any guesses for my submission: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfClayton Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 From the weather and the construction of the wall core, I'd guess Caistor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 If its not Caistor I'd actually go for Lympne instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummidia quadratilla Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 It's neither caistor nor lympne but you're in the right area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfClayton Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Then there's only one other it could be: Silchester! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I still feel that it is somewhere quite a bit further east with all that low lying ground beyond the walls and Richborough seems a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummidia quadratilla Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 It's not Silchester. Nor is it Richborough but you're right Melvadius it is in the east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I get the feeling I need to get out and do more personal site visits - Burgh Castle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummidia quadratilla Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I get the feeling I need to get out and do more personal site visits - Burgh Castle? Yes you're right, it is Gariannonum. Where will you take us next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 How about here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm guessing somewhere around the Mediterranean rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maty Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm guessing somewhere around the Mediterranean rim. Just someone's basement to go on, but I'll guess south-western Med based on my shaky knowledge of Roman brickwork - 1st century Gades perhaps?
