- A historical virtual reality tour of the Roman fort at Harbutts Field, Middlewich. Narrated by Tim Stickland and recorded by James Balme. Reproduced 2011 for Middlewich Town Council and presented here for Middlewich Heritage.
How thrilling it would be to be able to go back in time and see this in person! To walk the streets and smell the smells.

Pleased you found it useful - I will pass on your comments
I am curious about chimneys, I don't see any in the reconstructed roman buildings
5:27 - No. The ovens did not have their opening at ground level. We know this for a fact. The opening on a typichal roman oven was at least one meter up. Look how traditional neapolitan pizzaovens are constructed and you'll have a clue.
for over 400 years England was a crucial part of the Roman Empire!!
Lol hows that?
you dont know that julis caesar conqured Britain in 55 b.c.
***** Julius Caesar did not conquer Britain, he tried to conquer the east/south shore but retreaded because of overwhelming numbers, the person who did conquer Britain was emperor Claudius at 48 AD. He brought elephants to Britain by boat and went into a Britain fort with the elephants he then made the barbarians surrender to him. and Britain idk its values but the only reason Julius Caesar attacked gaul because of its treasures of gold, otherwise the country is worthless other then its trees and its animals. But the most important country was Egypt its grain was very important to keep Rome alive and the East Africa was also important for its big trade and valuable items.
I believe Tin was the main attraction. Julis Caesar two crossings were mainly just to build up Caesar’s image both trips were really failures. The Romans were not really very good in the water sailing the Mediterranean Sea is much easier than the channel. Claudius was a new Emperor also searching for glory. Rome alway has to put more into trying to control Britain it’s the main reason they left as the Empire struggled they simply had to cut their losses in manpower and gold. Had their been silver mines rather than tin mines, things might have been different. Rome never won the north. Britain in my view was a bridge to far for Rome.
