Arrr, matey! A band o’ treasure hunters be diggin’ in London and stumbled upon a grand ol’ Roman path, layin’ ‘neath the swanky Old Kent Road! Aye, this ancient way be older than yer great-grandpappy’s tales—nearly 2,000 moons! Blimey, what’s next, a talking parrot?
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round and lend yer ears to a tale of yore! While diggin' to warm the homes along the Old Kent Road in London, a band of archaeologists stumbled upon the ghostly remnants of a Roman road, known as Wating Street, built soon after them Romans sailed ashore in AD 43. 'Twas a grand stroke of luck, as maps be more blurred than a sailor's vision after a night at the tavern!Our landlubber archaeologists, workin' fer the Museum of London, found that this ancient pathway be as straight as a well-aimed cannonball, and the layers of its construction be clearer than the finest rum. This road measured a robust 5.8 meters wide and 1.4 meters high, built sturdy with gravel, chalk, and sand, standin' proud for nearly 2,000 years despite the ruckus of modern life above it.
As ol’ Dave Taylor, the project captain, exclaimed, it’s a wonder this treasure survived the muck of time! Soon, a sign shall be raised near Old Kent Road Bridge to inform land-dwellers of this grand find, and so the legacy of our Roman brethren be honored, even if they never swung a cutlass! So raise yer tankards and toast to the roads of the past, savvy?
