To mark the 1900 years of Hadrian’s Wall, English Heritage has introduced a new installation on the site of the now lost Roman gatehouse at Housesteads Roman Fort.
Created by artist Morag Myerscough and members of the local community, ‘The Future Belongs To What Was As Much As What Is’ stands in the spot where the north gatehouse at Housesteads once stood.
The installation features brightly coloured wooden placards placed on top of a scaffold frame.
Visitors can climb to the top of the installation, which allows for views of the ancient landscape, last seen by the Roman soldiers that used the gatehouse 1600 years ago. Marching 73 miles from coast to coast, Hadrian's Wall was originally built to guard the wild north-west frontier of the Roman Empire in Britain.
