Abstract: |
In July 1849 John Collingwood Bruce gave a lecture about Hadrian’s Wall at the British Archaeological Association’s annual congress at Chester. This was his first lecture outside his native North-East on the subject on which he was soon to become the leading authority. At about the same time, he met Charles Roach Smith and Albert Way, who had been on opposing sides in the great disruption of the British Archaeological Association immediately after its formation in 1843. This paper explores the relationship between the three archaeologists, and the Duke of Northumberland, and emphasises the significance of the Chester meeting. |
