A white background in landscape orientation, with a colourful graphic map on the left showing the story-trail in Castleford. The map has numbers from 1-4 on it in key locations, which correspond to text on the right of the image. The text reads: '1) Club trips
Some beautiful reminiscences from folk at Castleford Library Craft Group about club trips. 2) The Roman fort
Castleford, or Lagentium, was incredibly important to the Romans in its day. We explore the story of the Romans in this place. 3) A merging of myths
Rivers were so integral to communities that they often merited their own myths, or at least, mythical creatures. The River Aire is no different and we meet the river’s characters, and consider how myths from different cultures were merged. 4) A restless Roman
It is said that the ghost of a gladiator (or perhaps a Roman soldier) can be seen patrolling up and down Sagar Street...'
