EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Photo Library showcases the iconic Hadrian's Wall: Housesteads Fort in Northumberland. Standing tall and proud, this ancient Roman fortification has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its sturdy walls. However, what truly steals the spotlight in this image is a group of adventurous sheep who have found their way onto the wall itself. Intriguingly, these woolly creatures seem to have discovered an ingenious way to gain a high vantage point by climbing on top of the historic structure. With their fluffy coats contrasting against the rugged stone backdrop, they create a whimsical scene that merges past and present. The presence of these sheep also serves as a reminder of how farming and animal husbandry were integral parts of life along Hadrian's Wall during Roman times. These animals provided sustenance for soldiers stationed at Housesteads Fort while simultaneously shaping the landscape through grazing practices. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when this mighty wall served as both defense and symbol of Roman power. It reminds us that even amidst grand architectural feats, nature finds its place – with these resilient sheep effortlessly claiming their spot atop one of history's most renowned structures.
