Things were nicer when you had to write a letter to be rude to people you don't know.

@kejamieson_ Could have been anywhere I suppose, I was chaos, and I know they were transferring prisoners/camp staff from other camps as they retreated. Hopefully the experts can find out who he was...I'm curious now!

[Ed @Mauned]

@kejamieson_ Difficult to tell, but looks to be an Army Oberst (Colonel). Plaited shoulder boards with 2 pips and what you can see of the collar patch looks to be a standard one (like the chap behind) rather than an SS rank patch.
I sincerely hope he got exactly what he deserved after this🤬

@josephlewis1992 There is a partially theorised one with still existing stretches that runs north from Poole to Bath. "A Lost Roman Road" by Bernard Berry walks through it and I think its mentioned in Codrington.

[Ed @Mauned]

@kejamieson_ Also there's plenty of stories about HMS Victory, including some naval wind ups that one of the crew told me during a slightly drunken evening in the wardroom!

[Ed @Mauned]

@kejamieson_ The Kings Theatre is supposedly haunted, shadowy figure of a woman seen backstage if memory serves, and various thumps and odd noises.

@ScienceGirlCan Oh dear! :-( get well soon, sending hugs! ❤❤

13 hours into lockdown. I think I need to motivate myself.

@kejamieson_ A toast to the Siege of Gibraltar, absolutely above reproach at any time 😁🥂

@PeterGHore @thathistorybore sounds like one for you Dr F.

I wish to assure you - ASSURE YOU, madam - that I did no such thing and that in any case the horse is now in a petting zoo in Dorset, the address of which I have now unfortunately lost.

[Ed @Mauned]

@Rose_Of_Dawn Do it do it do it do it! Must include weasels though.

@BASCnews @CAupdates have you seen this? Government including air rifle legislation alongside measures to control acid attacks. Would kill the sport for U18s :-(

@marcus_liddell https://t.co/YxUVqYIE30 brige could come from the Welsh world "brig" means high place. A few antiquarians thought it was Broughton, but that's a few miles further on and is an anglo Saxon name. That said, it's closer to where the road cross the test...so who knows! 😁

[Ed @Mauned]

@marcus_liddell That's the rough line of the road and where the enclosure is, it would have stood a fair way back from the road which is unusual.

[Ed @Mauned]

@marcus_liddell According to the Antonine Itinerary it's about 6 miles outside Winchester on the Old Sarum road. The site is lost, but could be this one.

[Ed @Mauned]

@marcus_liddell I walked around this area not that long ago. There is also the possible remains of the Roman way station at Brige near Ashley on the winchester - salisbury roman road. Lot of it is plowed out, but still a big defensive bank remaining.

@marcus_liddell What is the map you are using?
