Ribchester, The New Hotel c.1955

More about this scene
The Romans called their station here Bremetennacum Veteranorum in AD 80, and it was an important garrison. Today, so much interest is displayed in the Ribchester Roman Museum, which is devoted entirely to Roman history, that hotels remain busy, including the New Hotel. The tombstone of a cavalry rider and a replica of a parade helmet are what visitors come from far away to see. The original helmet, found by the river Ribble in 1796, is in the British Museum.
