Some of them might have come up from York or other parts of Britain because once Hayden's Wall is settled, that's a good market, isn't it?

Some of them would have come from further afield.

There's an amazing pair of altars, one in York and one in Bordeaux, that's set up by the same person, the trader, saying,

He leaves York and says, help me get to Bordeaux safely.

He's obviously been doing business.

And when he gets to Bordeaux, he says, thanks, I got here safely.

And, you know, that's not for them all.

But that sort of thing is happening all the time.

Traders are moving around because they're following the trade.

And you also think certain things, there wouldn't be a big enough market for someone to stay there all the time.

So there'd be itinerant traders as well who are just visiting for a week.

And then they go from Chester's and they go to houses.

Then they go on and then they do the circuit to come back.

I mean...

Actually, do we get that much less sunlight than Belgium and France?

Yeah, so for places like that.

But also, yeah, it would just be... There would be no accommodation, I don't think.

You'd be like, oh, it's dark.

Oh, well, still going to stand on the wall.

You're still on guard duty, you know, wrap up.
