I should probably clarify this, as it seems to have gone a bit viral - the staff got an email at 8am, same time as clearing opening.

My uni have just withdrawn Geography, History & Geography and Politics & Geography undergrad courses run from our Penryn campus. Terrible for Cornwall. How did the staff find out? When UCAS clearing opened at 8am 😡

I'll leave you with this final quote from Hodgson's intro to Vol II Pt 3: "Topographical enquiry, as it discovers truth, gives the same kind of delight as Science feels, when new arrangements of form and matter present themselves before her." Raise a trowel Archeologists, to John Hodgson 20/22

Clayton was the landowner of Chesters fort and more. He'd always been troubled by the evidence himself. The antiquarian Collingwood Bruce felt the same. They teamed up and poured over Hodgson's work. They built on it. From 1848 Bruce began his own definitive works on the Wall. HADRIAN'S Wall 18/22

And then, wonderfully, almost 50% of the entire 400 page book is essentially a long, small text footnote in which John Hodgson slowly and methodically demolishes 1500 years of established history to prove Hadrian, not Severus, built the Wall. It is beautiful. It is a work of art. 15/22
