Description: | 35mm slide showing a view of excavations taking place at Arbeia Roman Fort at the Lawe Top, South Shields. A lot of earth has been removed from an area behind the old Museum at the site, and there are three people at the dig. Some areas are covered with black plastic sheeting, for protection. There is a heap of flat stones to the right, which look like new paving. A good view of the back of the houses of Greens Place can be seen in the background, and the Highlights building at North Shields can be seen over the rooftops. The slide was probably taken in the 1980s or 1990s.
