A ROMAN archaeology expert is set to give the second of a series of talks revealing details about roads in North Yorkshire during the period.
Hugh Toller, who is working with the Roman Antiquities Section of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society to identify the routes of the ancient roads, will speak at the village hall, in Thornton le Street, between Thirsk and Northallerton on Saturday, October 11, at 2pm.
He will describe his recent work in the county, in particular at Ainley Top, near Harrogate, and from Bainbridge, in Wensleydale, towards Barnard Castle.
The talk will also focus on the work 18th Century map-maker John Warburton, who charted a Roman road between Thornton le Street and Catterick Bridge.
Entry to the talks, which aim to stimulate research into the routes of Roman roads in the county to ensure they are adequately recorded, costs £2.
