Plans for a new Roman museum which would reate 120 jobs in Cumbria have been announced. Hadrian’s Wall Heritage, who have brought the land, wish to build the new attraction on the site of a Roman fort at Camp Farm, Maryport, hoping to attract more than 50,000 visitors to the area a year. Archaeologists will excavate the site before the museum is built.
