New Hadrian's Wall Would cost £400m.
Hadrian's Wall Heritage has contracted industrial services company Carillion to estimate the cost of building Hadrian's Wall today. They came back with a price of £400m. Cheap compared to the billions spent on the bank bailouts - but then so is everything. It doesn't seem high enough to me - I presume they are quoting for concrete rather than dressed stone.
I don't really see the purpose of this exercise - it gets Hadrian's Wall Heritage a few cheap headlines ( an mentions in blogs...) but I sure hope they didn't spend any money on the wheeze.
Meanwhile the Living History Pageant has taken place over the past couple of weeks. People on our Hadrian's Wall Walking Holidays have reported running into the odd centurion, but have been allowed ton continue on their walk.
