Speaker: David Ratledge (over video link)
David Ratledge has been looking for Roman roads in Lancashire for the past 45 years. A former Civil Engineer working predominantly in the design and construction of Roads and Bridges for over 40 years. At Lancashire County Council he also headed up the county's GIS unit developing the award winning online GIS, MARIO. Since his retirement he has been able to devote his time to tracking down lost Roman roads from Hadrian’s Wall to Essex.
Using Lidar data, he has found a road that stretches from Ribchester to Lancaster, a distance of more than ten miles. He will also explore the probable 'new' Roman Fort at Wayoh Bridge in Edgworth.
