EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Chesters Roman Fort, located along Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. The image showcases the remarkable bathhouse from an aerial perspective, offering a unique view towards the serene river North Tyne. Bob Skingle's expertly captured photograph allows us to immerse ourselves in the rich history and architectural grandeur of this ancient site. The fort itself stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Roman engineering and military prowess. Built around 122 AD, it served as a strategic stronghold for over three centuries. Today, it remains remarkably well-preserved, providing visitors with a glimpse into life during Roman times. The bathhouse depicted in this photo is particularly noteworthy. It was an integral part of daily life at Chesters Roman Fort, where soldiers would come to relax and rejuvenate after long days on duty. The intricate details of its construction are beautifully showcased here – from the carefully laid out mosaic floors to the remnants of heated rooms and steam baths. As we gaze upon this stunning image by Bob Skingle, we are transported back in time to an era filled with stories of conquests and cultural exchange. It serves as a reminder that our present is intricately woven into our past; each stone within these ancient walls holds secrets waiting to be discovered. Historic England celebrates photographs like these that capture our heritage so vividly; they allow us to appreciate and protect these invaluable historical sites for generations yet unborn.
