Watling Street
Wall
Lichfield
Staffordshire
WS14 0AW


The foundations of an inn and bath house can be seen at Wall Roman Site. The inn provided overnight accommodation for travelling Roman officials and imperial messengers.

Inside the museum are many finds ranging from a bronze statuette of a wrestler, to pottery, building debris, coins, jewellery and even toilet implements. All of these vividly recall Wall's history, originally as a military staging post on Watling Street and subsequently as a bustling town.

An audio tour has a Roman legionary guide you around this fascinating site.
