The Romans in Yorkshire
The Romans had been in Yorkshire for over three hundred years before they constructed their signal stations along the coastline. The occupation of Yorkshire had generally been a very quiet affair with the native population mingling with the invaders. The main threat of the day had been from the Scots, but the latter part of the third century saw an increasing number of raids from over the North Sea. The Angles, Saxons, Danes and Vikings were arriving! For more details click here.
