Roman Castleford Uncovered at Castleford Museum

Heritage Open Day: Experience the exciting new Roman Castleford Digital Interpretation at Castleford Museum created by One To One Development Trust. Journey through time with our new digital platform to experience Roman Castleford 2000 years ago. Castleford was founded 2000 years ago as an important strategic Roman fort on the crossing of the River Aire. Today this Roman heritage is largely hidden. One To One Development Trust have worked with Wakefield Museums and Castles, Castleford Civic Society and Castleford Heritage Trust to create a new digital platform that brings the important Roman Castleford story to life. Explore the architecture of the Roman Bathhouse, Fort and Vicus, and discover hidden objects from the Castleford Museum collection, recreated in a digital world. Meet an AI Roman soldier or try on an AI Roman helmet. Drop-in event. Suitable for all ages. Part of the Our Heritage, Our Stories project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Wakefield Council.
