ARCHAEOLOGISTS are going to be digging deep at a historic site in South Tyneside fort, thanks to a £400,000 award.
The
Heritage Lottery Fund has granted the cash to Tyne and Wear Archives
and Museums for its Hadrian’s Wall and its Legacy on Tyneside venture.
Part of the project will be new excavations at Arbeia Roman Fort in Baring Street, South Shields, which was the supply base for the Wall for many years.
The project, which will begin in the autumn, aims to uncover more about the history of Hadrian’s Wall, from urban Tyneside to the Tyne Valley in Northumberland.
Coun Alan Kerr, deputy leader of South Tyneside Council, said: “We are delighted to be involved in this important project.
