To mark the first opening of The King’s Bastion chamber to the public for 19 years, City Archaeologist Andrew Armstrong tells the extraordinary story of the King’s Bastion, the lives of its Roman inhabitants and the conversion of the fortress ramparts into a 1.8km wall, parts of which can be seen in the chamber today. He reveals the fascinating illustrated tale of the Bastion’s restoration and the unique insights it gives into Roman Gloucester. This ticket is for the talk only.
