Question from Reddit: How often do listed buildings burn down, and how often do they 'burn down'? #AskAnArchaeologist Day #AskAnArchaeologist

Amazing opening at Jewry Wall Roman Museum, saw @ArchaeologyUK president Raksha Dave, great interactive film and exhibition #FestivalofArchaeology

Red Team are off to be Building Detectives with our very own Debbie Frearson out The Chester House Estate. Lots of great buildings to explore on the site. I'm sure our Lidted Casework Team will be very jealous!!! 2/

It's been a busy busy day The Chester House Estate exploring archaeology and wellbeing for this year's #FestivalOfArchaeology. We had loads of fun and learnt a few things along the way. Debbie Frearson turned me into Building Detective 🕵️‍♀️ with her great activity. Till next year....
