Recommended Posts

A team of archaeologists is to dig for Roman remains - on the site of a Tyneside fire station. The excavations in Newcastle are planned around Westgate Fire Station, on the junction of Westgate Road and Wingrove Road, which is in the Hadrian's Wall corridor. The station, built in 1964, is due to be replaced by another, in Rye Hill, this summer with the dig due to begin after the crews have moved out. A team from the archaeology department of the Tyne & Wear museums service will start excavations to evaluate the site's significance.
