Newcastle (Pons Aelius) Bridge, Vallum and Fort (info needed
#59
Hi Yuri Where I mention your drawing change was from the first drawing you did, that was where you had the wall and river parallel to one another which you changed correctly. Where I have said West of N'west is the approximate 30 degree change which you made and correctly so, for anyone who is not familiar with Hadrians' Wall tends to think that the wall runs along with the river. It does not do this for leaving the Pons Aelius fort it heads straight towards the high north side of the Tyne Valley, indeed by the time it reaches Chesters it is over two miles north of the Tyne. Indeed by the time it even reaches the next fort at Condercum it is about a mile from the river.
