Not everyday that you identify a hitherto unrecognised class of archaeological site. I present to you, the workings from which materials to build #river #embankments were extracted. Shallow, sub-rectangular cuttings. Three examples I identified today at #Fiskerton #Rolleston and #Staythorpe on the #RiverTrent #Notinghamshire. Interesting, one working per #parish, suggesting #local #community involvement. Ground #photographs with #LiDAR plots. #Archaeology #PostMedieval

Small-town checkin?

I've seen users as close as #timaru and #rolleston, is there anyone else here in #ashburton yet?

What other little backwaters are you all tooting from?

#Rolleston started out as a railway town in 1866. It's grown hugely to ≈28,000 people. It's 20 minutes by train to #Christchurch Station in the largest city in Australasia without urban rail. $125 millionis being spent on local transport improvements, none of which is going to passenger rail. At a minimum, an amenity upgrade for the station, used by the existing Tranz Alpine train, would have been in order.
