This attempt to emulate the achievements of the Emperor Hadrian is still in course of erection on Blacka. It is only one of numerous structures to be found here. They include other lines of stone wall several sturdy and powerfully sprung gates that challenge the user and a mile or so of four stranded barbed wire. I'm working out the probable total cost of all of them to the humble citizen struggling to make ends meet but gratified that some of his meagre earnings is going to such essential work.
And don't forget that it's all there to help SWT graze farm animals and therefore get even more of our money from EU subsidies. So that's O.K. How reassuring. I can't at the moment comment on the comparison being made with HS2.
I rather liked the old broken wall reminding us that human workings don't and shouldn't always last. Would Rievaulx Abbey be better from being rebuilt?
