Believe it or not, this is the site of Roman Manchester- these are the reconstructed foundations of a granary. Manchester sadly can't offer much from its Roman era, other than the reconstructed fort and granary at Castlefield.
If you want to see more authentic Roman ruins I suggest you visit Chester or York. The lovely city of York is covered in an excellent daily photo and history blog by my good friend Deb, at Ginnels Gates and Ghosts: http://yorkdailypicture.blogspot.co.uk

Hi there - if the truth be told I dont think there are many places in the UK where if you look hard enough you cant find some evidence of the past. I just wish people had realised there was more to British History than just the Romans "when I was a lad"

Love the castle look of that back wall. Nice photo and interesting information.
