HISTORICAL LANDSCAPES IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND By Karen Fuller, RLA INTRODUCTION On a holiday to the north of England for two weeks in August 2015, I was able to visit many historical sites and explore their cultural significance, as well as how they were integrated and evolved over time into the greater landscape. This essay and the accompanying CD with photographs and maps focus on three areas and historical periods: Housesteads Roman Fort and Hadrians Wall (lst Century AD_ 5th Century AD); Dunstanburgh Castle (Built in the 14th Century); and County Durham (Present Day). I. Housesteads Roman Fort - Hadrian's Wall: (English Heritage Site) History: In AD 43 the Romans invaded southern England, and almost a century later Emperor Hadrian orders the building of the wall in 122 AD marking Rome's northern frontier. The wall was completed 128 AD with 15 forts along the 73 mile length of the wall. One of 15 forts built along the Wall, Housesteads (known as Vercovicium "the place of effective fighters") is the most complete example of a Roman fort in England. The entire Wall was garrisoned by nearly 10,000 men while Housesteads had an infantry of about 800 men until the end of the 4th century.

  • Vol-14-No-1.Pdf
    EDITORIAL Another year has come and gone, and we trust that 1989 will be a happy and prosperous one for all our members. If our Society is to continue to flourish, however, it is essential that more members should play an active part in running its affairs. Ken Brown, our Secretary since 1983 (and acting Programme Organiser for the last year), is resigning at the Annual General Meeting in May, and Irene Blackburn, who is responsible for the Members' Interests and Second Time Around sections of the Journal, will be giving up her position as Research Editor later in the year. We are very grateful to them both for all the work they have done on our behalf. In addition to these two posts, we are still short of a Programme Organiser. If you know of anyone who might be willing to take on any of these jobs please let Ken Brown know as soon as possible - otherwise the Society may come to a grinding halt. One of the most important events of 1988 as far as the Society was concerned was the publication of the long-awaited Directory of Members' Interests. Its production entailed a great deal of hard work on the part of those responsible, and it also placed a severe strain on the Society's finances. In view of the fact that it was initially offered free to members (only the cost of postage and packing being charged), the demand for copies was disappointingly small. Copies are still available, and although now priced £2.75 each (post free to addresses in the U.K.), they are very good value.

  • Northumberland Visitor Survey 2013
    NORTHUMBERLAND VISITOR SURVEY 2013 1 1. INTRODUCTION In 2005/06 One North East carried out the first region wide visitor survey for North East England to establish baseline profiles of tourists to the region. The survey was repeated in 2008 and again in 2010 to establish any changes in consumer demographics or behaviours. Following the abolition of the RDA’s the Northern Tourism Alliance recognised the importance of ensuring we have the most up to date information possible on our visitors and chose to come together to fund visitor survey interviews in 2013. This report summarises the findings for the interviews undertaken in Northumberland. The key objectives of the survey were to: To inform development decisions for Durham and the North East Understand visitor satisfaction and identify areas for improvement Understand people’s motivation for visiting Gather visitor profiles such as demographics, booking sources, use of the internet etc Gather economic expenditure data to feed into economic impact reports We received a total return of 334 completed surveys which were a mixture of online responses and surveys completed at attractions such as Woodhorn and Bamburgh Castle. 2 2. KEY FINDINGS Visitor Profiles 59% of visitors to Northumberland are staying overnight. 16% of visitors are new visitors while more than 1/3rd have been more than 20 times before. 41% of visitors said their main reason for visit was to visit heritage sites. General sightseeing and visiting artistic or heritage exhibits also came out highly. 9 out of 10 visitors use their own car to travel to Northumberland Previous visits to the region play a significant role in visitors choosing to return.
