Overview

History & significance

Hadrian's Wall in wall mile 1 is a section of the Roman frontier defence system constructed in the second century AD under the Emperor Hadrian. This portion of the wall, situated between Stotts Road and Vauxhall Road near Wallsend in Northumberland, preserves three distinct sections that form part of the stone wall that originally extended across northern Britain from the Tyne to the Solway Firth. The surviving remains represent the substantial stone construction characteristic of the wall's eastern reaches, built to mark and defend the north-western frontier of the Roman Empire. The site remains significant as tangible evidence of Roman military engineering and imperial territorial ambition during the Hadrianic period.
