A great & painful story on destruction/vandalism. Attitudes change so slowly - Hadrian's Wall still at quarry risk til 1950s!
Absolutely---it's sad to think how much was still being lost of so many sites up until fairly recently :-/
@caitlinrgreen How are the mosaics preserved & are they left in situ & covered or are all removed? If the latter, where can they be seen?
@markdonnyiron Greetwell mosaics destroyed, Horkstow lifted in 1929 & in Hull Museum, Winterton frags in Scunthorpe Museum :)
England ıs lucky Roman mosaıcs are beatıful!
