Drawing Hadrian\'s Wall
#1
In case you don't know, Alan Whitworth is a New Zealander who spent 15 years of his life drawing every stone of Hadrian's Wall for English Heritage. There is a rather good interview with him on this New Zealand radio station (and if I can listen to it, you ought to be able to). He published accounts of the work in progress in 1994 and 1997* and subsequently went on to produce a BAR** on the re-use of stone from the Wall.

Sit back and enjoy.

You know my method. It is founded upon the observance of trifles

Blogging, tweeting, and mapping Hadrian\'s Wall... because it\'s there

Thank you for that Mike it was very interesting to listen to, even for anyone who is as familiar with Hadrian's Wall as yourself and Alan Whitworth enjoyed that.
