where lots goes on to give them entertainment.

Of course, that doesn't interest me, I'm an old

lady, but I think younger people appear to.

And why would you describe the city as historic?

Well, there's been a settlement here

documented settlement since Roman times and

continuously, there has been a town of some kind here since

the Roman settlement dates from about 50 or 60 AD.

So, yeah, and there's Roman remains, of course, there's the Roman Wall.

There's lots of medieval stuff remaining.

Beautiful redevelopment in the early 19th century

when most of the town burned to the ground.

And of course, it's a port.

So down on the riverside, the quayside, there are historic

buildings, too, the castle, the Guild Hall, which dates

from the 17th century, so yeah, there's a lot.

here.

That seems very interesting, so it makes me want to

art gallery, which is just along here.

The building with the tower, you can't quite see it.
