Step into Sunderland’s ancient past

A fascinating talk on local archaeology, led by Gary Bankhead from the Department of Archaeology at Durham

Step into Sunderland’s ancient past at a fascinating talk on local archaeology, led by Gary Bankhead from the Department of Archaeology at Durham University. Following his sell-out talk last January at Hylton Castle, Gary returns to share the latest exciting discoveries from the River Wear. These recent findings are transforming our understanding of the city’s history—offering new insights into its past while challenging long-held assumptions about Roman activity in the area. With Roker seafront recognised as a significant site of Roman interest, this promises to be a compelling and thought-provoking event.

Perfect for anyone with a passion for archaeology, local history, or the heritage of our region—don’t miss this opportunity to uncover Sunderland’s hidden story.
