Anonymous Hadrian’s Wall excavators celebrated in new exhibition
A new photography exhibition opens at Corbridge Roman Town on Hadrian’s Wall today (7 April 2022), as part of English Heritage’s 1900 celebrations, marking 1900 years since construction started on the wall. Extraordinary Exploration: The Edwardian discovery of Coria showcases dozens of photographs of the local labourers who worked at Corbridge over nine years. These completely inexperienced excavators helped uncover remains of extraordinary quality and international renown, but have remained anonymous for over 100 years. Now, new research carried out by English Heritage has named 11 men and the charity hopes that the exhibition and the newly colourised photographs will lead to more being identified.
