Interesting you mentioned Casterwood been a Roman encampment......There is a story that the 9th Roman legion of 5000 men was destroyed by the Britns in Keighley, im from Ingrow and grew up playing in the Woods as a child but I never once Heard that there might be a Roman camp there...the legion camped at Ulcric in Keighley as far as I now and that's supposed to be somewhere between Marley playing field and east riddlesden hall, 5000 legionnaires killed...I'll investigate more, thank you
Hi Hajji.My late father is the person narrating the video and we lived just below where the walk starts from. I have heard before the mentions of Romans in the Marley area, and some roman finds in the same spot in an E-book called Ancient Bingley or Bingley, its history and scenery by Joseph Horsfall Turner, it can be found on line as a free download. Its a long read but has some real gems of information. It does mention that there was a bridge at Marley in Roman times. Hope the search goes well. Andrew
@@wako194 Hello there's really interesting thank you for replying to my comment, I'm.so sorry to hear of the passing of your father, I often watch his videos, it's nice that he made them, it must bring you great comfort to hear his voice, he had such a beautiful accent I could listen to him for hours, may God rest his soul ...I have never heard of the book you speak about but I'll definitely go read it now thank you, i grew up on Apple street Ingrow we had the land directly across the road with the horses, my uncle was Danny Sommers, they owned the big house that backs onto the woods so I wandered all over there as a kid, I just found out that the woodlands was recently sold for £28.000 to a Asian guy, I'm trying to track him down to make him a offer, if anyone knows him I'd be very grateful for his information, I'm wanting to purchase it and give it to Keighley and get some archaeology done on the areas, I have lots of old books, one called "curious tales of old Yorkshire" by Marie Campbell....the 9th are mentioned as been in Marley in her book also....can't wait for the reference library to reopen and I can get back to investigating, thank you so much for the information, God bless you and yours
