After meeting at Red House Antiques Centre, for coffee and a quick get-to-know-you session the day began when John Oxley who is Archaeologist for the City of York Council, and was the main liaison officer between them and Time Team during the dig there, started our guided tour of York.
First stop was the Multiangular Tower followed by St.Leonard’s Hospital grounds, where part of the dig was carried out. There is a website for the Multangular Tower at: http://www.york.gov.uk/walls/romans/multower.html
We then walked along a section of the City Walls including an area below the walls not open to the public where we were given an insight into the Roman defences of the City.
After lunch, we made our way to Walmgate with John. Next, it was onto the Barley Hall, which was the location of the 1999 Christmas Special for a costume guided tour. Finally we all met up back at the Red House Antiques Centre for the end of day meeting. Oh and some of us met up in the evening for a drinkie or two as well!
