Beacon Roman Fortlet 15604_32

BEACON ROMAN FORTLET, Martinhoe, Devon. Now succumbing to the inevitable effects of coastal erosion, this Roman fortlet and signalling station balances precariously on the north Devon coastline. The fort, whose earthworks measure approximately 80 metres in circumference was excavated in the 1960s. Archaeologists found evidence of occupation dating the camp to the 1st century AD

The Dublin Crimean Banquet

Engraving showing a panoramic of a banquet for Crimean war veterans in Stack A, a warehouse in Dublin's Docklands, held on October 22nd 1856. Organised by the Irish government to honour the 3,600 troops who had recently returned from the Crimea, the tobacco warehouse, which was transformed with furnishing and floral arrangements, was found to be the only venue big enough to hold such a large number of people. Banners celebrating the various battles were hung around the wall
