Aln & Breamish Local History Society will receive a talk titled ‘Dere Street - Its Life and Times’ from David Jones.
Best known as a Roman Road, Dere Street connected York with northern Britain allowing troops and traders to travel into Caledonia. But the route is much more than a Roman road. Where Dere Street crosses the unspoilt landscape of the Cheviots traces of thousands of years of activities can be seen all along the way.
