“Life in Roman Alcester” A talk by Alan Godfrey, Chairman of Alcester and District Local History Society
Alcester was founded on Icknield Street by the Romans in around AD 47 and by the end of the 2nd century, Roman Alcester had developed into a bustling trading and market town. Some of the houses of Roman Alcester appear to have been well endowed, with features such as heating, painted plaster and mosaic floors. Detailed archaeological work began in the 1920s and has continued with over 100 digs in the last 80 years.

Back Tracks – Detecting the Past’ by Colin Clay and Phil Taylor
The Talk is about using computers and modern technologies such as LiDAR and Satellite imaging, to remotely detect traces of our landscape which have almost disappeared but can still be seen.
This joint Talk includes features such as Ancient tracks and also Roman roads, deserted medieval villages (DMV), village design and hillforts.
(Although the word ‘detecting’ is used in the title, metal detecting isn’t discussed in this talk).
