He was the world’s leading pedestrian. 1879 Llanfair Caereinion Powys-born George Dunning sets a world 40 miles record at Stamford Bridge of 4:50.12. 1880 Newport AC represented by Richard Mullock at the formation of the AAA at The Randolph Hotel, Oxford - Chambers also there. 1881 Dunning effectively sets an inaugural world record for the half-marathon when he runs 1:13.46 on a track at Stamford Bridge. The distance is actually 13 miles 440 yards, i.e. further than the designated half marathon distance of 13 miles 192.5 yards. 1881 Dunning becomes the first Welsh born athlete to win the (English) National cross country title. 1882 Roath (Cardiff) Harriers formed.

A Comparative Study of Caerleon Legionary Fortress and South Shields Auxiliary Fort Between AD C.150 and C
A comparative study of Caerleon Legionary Fortress and South Shields Auxiliary Fort between AD c.150 and c. 250. Jessica Billing In part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Archaeology University of Bradford 2010 This dissertation is an unrevised examination copy for consultation only and it should not be quoted or cited without the permission of the Head of Division UNIVERSITY OF BRADFORD Division of AGES/School of Life Sciences Abstract Few Roman military studies have been concerned with comparing life, and the activities tak- ing place within, different fortresses and forts; despite evidence of variation between sites (Birley 1976: 271, Baker 2004: 61). This dissertation compares and examines, through the use of dimensional data and plans, the adornment of the principiae and Caerleon thermae, and the activities taking place within them. Many ideas about the function of principiae are open to conjecture, being based only on Roman texts and a small number of excavations (Bidwell 2007: 72, Johnson 1983: 111). This study also compares small finds data from each site, and employs the use of functional groupings to analyse this statistically in order to make interpretations about past activity. The results indicate that, perhaps, no two Roman military sites functioned in quite the same way; evidence of the regulation of civilian entrance and heavier patrolling of the ramparts was found at Caerleon, and a distinct absence of items as- sociated with females was found at South Shields. In addition, the barrack blocks were com- pared and the results illustrate the key organisational role and high status of the legionary centurion.
