Verulamium

Ghost town in England

Verulamium was a town in Roman Britain. It was sited southwest of the modern city of St Albans in Hertfordshire, England. The major ancient Roman route Watling Street passed through the city, but was realigned in medieval times to bring trade to St Albans. It was about a day's walk from London. A large portion of the Roman city remains unexcavated, being now park and agricultural land. Due to ploughing on the privately owned agricultural land which formed half of the city, a lot of damage has been done, as proven by parts of mosaic floors that have been found on the surface.
