Roman invasion
The Romans came to Castleford on Saturday.
Billy Flood, Edward Johnson and Martin Hutchinson, pictured, joined the first Romans Spring Festival in the former mining town, which can trace its history back to Roman times. It featured craft and market stalls, Roman legionaries and re-creations of life during Roman times. An important settlement was created by the Romans on the River Aire where Castleford stands today. It consisted of a civilian settlement around a military fort. Picture: Jim Moran.
