EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the bustling City of London, the shadows of the past reach out to touch the present in this evocative image of a Roman fort excavation site in Falcon Street. Dating back to before the ancient city walls, this remarkable discovery was made during archaeological digs led by the esteemed Mr. W. F. Grimes, Director of the London Museum (now known as the Museum of London). The fort, a testament to the rich history of the area, stands proudly in the background, its weathered walls contrasting starkly with the modern brickwork of Cripplegate Church that looms overhead. The year was 1956, and the sense of excitement and anticipation was palpable as the team of archaeologists, led by Grimes, carefully unearthed the fort from the depths of the earth. The site, which had been hidden for centuries, was a treasure trove of historical information, providing valuable insights into the Roman occupation of London. The dig site, a hive of activity, was a scene of meticulous work and dedication, with archaeologists carefully sifting through the soil, searching for clues and artifacts that would help piece together the story of this ancient fort. The walls, still standing despite the passage of time, bore witness to the military might and strategic importance of the Roman presence in the city. This photograph, taken during the excavation, captures a moment in time when the past and the present converge, offering a glimpse into the rich history of the City of London and the Roman fort that lay hidden beneath its modern streets.
