Aye..it is impressive isn't it, and to think that we have such a huge construction under our very noses being used, abused and largely ignored by all including St.Albans council (though the council are of course excluded from use and abuse!)
It has never ceased to amaze me just how unpromoted St.Albans actually is from an archaeological/historical perspective.
We see the obligatory low key brown signs posted along most main entry routes to the city...but little else!
St.Albans is a buried celebration of pre roman, roman and post roman british development...and all we see are modest signs beside the road unlikely to tip anyone off beyond the historically/archaeologically aware !!
In a recent climate whereby Channel 4's 'Time Team' brought archaeology into fashionable awareness, shouldn't those who serve St.Albans interests have cashed in on the fad and highlighted the city's importance in this respect whilst the going was good?
It isn't too late of course...the ole' city's place in the overall scheme of historical things can still be maxed up to best advantage with, of course, a little planning and imagination on the part of they who're paid to take care of Snorban's interests.
