The Romans in the Nene ValleyWhat did the Romans ever do for Peterborough? Well, they didn’t found our city, but they have left us an impressive range of features and artefacts which have been uncovered and studied over the past two hundred years. The Nene Valley Archaeological Trust have kindly agreed that we can sell on their behalf copies of their recently published book, The Romans in the Nene Valley”, by Dr. Stephen Upex. With many illustrations, this book provides an overview of the development of the lower Nene valley from the late Iron Age to the very end of Roman rule. The Roman military presence is covered along with details of forts, villas, farmsteads, religions, and burials, and also the important Roman town of Durobrivae (near Water Newton) with its sprawling suburbs. Dr. Upex has excavated, written about and researched the area for over forty years and brings together an insightful account of the Nene Valley and its Roman past. The book is priced at £15.00.

DVD RAF Peterborough (Westwood Airfield)The DVD tells the story of RAF Peterborough, operational from 1932 to 1964 at Westwood Airfield from its origins through to the 1970s through archive film and interviews local historians and with people who have first hand memories of life on the airfield. Aircrew were recruited from around the world and many received some of their training at RAF Peterborough as a flying training base. Some buildings remain, notable the fine exterior of the Officer's Mess, but the former airfield now lies under the housing estates of Westwood, Ravensthorpe and Netherton, and the Westwood industrial estate. It was produced by Blue Slate Media We have now sold out of our original stock of DVDs and sadly Blue Slate Media are unable to supply us with any more. However we can offer copies at the bargain price of £8.50. Order online (below) or print off and use our order form. To see front and rear of the DVD sleeve click on the image. |
