The excavation of a Roman iron furnace during the archaeological dig at
Watling Place, Newington, in 2018.
Sue Flipping will pose the question Newington - a Roman service station? at Newington History Group's monthly meeting in the Village Hall on Thursday (Oct 27th) at 7:00pm.
Her talk will cover some of the most interesting finds from the 'remarkable' excavation of a small industrial town east of the village at Watling Place four years ago.
Newington was a Roman centre for surrounding villages, such as Rainham, Upchurch, Lower Halstow and Iwade, and a 'service station' for wider afield.
The event (free to members) is open to guests (£3) and includes refreshments. There is free parking at the hall.
