Discovered during excavation work for the new Guildhall Art Gallery, the remains of London's Roman Amphitheatre date from the 2nd century AD. It had a capacity for an audience of 7,000 watching animal fights, executions and gladiatorial contests. The ruins of the eastern entrance, including sections of wooden drains, are displayed in an innovative way, underneath the art gallery - which is where you need to enter to see the amphitheatre.

Colin Harrison on Britain’s most haunted placesIt should read 'open-minded'. There's obviously a ghost in the machine.......
Colin Harrison on Britain’s most haunted placesHello Mike, I have personally had a few experiences that I have been unable to explain logically or rationally. One of them occurred when I was staying in a castle near Carlisle. I wasn't aware until afterwards that the room that I was staying in was supposed to be haunted.
John on Britain’s most haunted placesThis was wonderful to read, Mike! I have always thought of England as a mystical, ethereal place in some ways. Your history is so long and amazing!

Eunice on The outcast deadA well researched, well written and very interesting post Mike - I found it through Anabel's latest post. I've never heard of Cross Bones before, what a sad and poignant place it is. It's good to know that there are people taking care of it though - it may not
