Robert.
It is correct what you say about Chesters being a bit old fashioned but then the board of Trustees for the Clayton Collection tend to keep it that way.
I did work at Chesters some years back and have to say that being a little old fashioned myself I enjoyed all of that.
Indeed the collection holds many pieces from all over the wall and even though Vindolanda would love to have all their bits back the collection will never be split up for that I think was layed down by Clayton and his family decendants.
I should mention that I also worked at Housesteads roman fort as well and and being a local myself I am very familiar with Hadrian's Wall.
