Poppy Appeal
Spennymoor Town Council would like to thank Amanda Molloy for her years of hard work and dedication organising the town’s Poppy Appeal.
The house of the Fort Commander includes the best example of a Roman military bath suite in Britain. Finds from the excavation of the fort are displayed in the Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle. Vinovia was a Roman fort and settlement situated just over 1 mile (1.6 km) to the north of the town of Bishop Auckland on the banks of the River Wear in County Durham, England. The fort was the site of a hamlet until the late Middle Ages, but the modern-day village of Binchester is about 2 miles (3 km) to the east, near Spennymoor.
The ruins are now known as the Binchester Roman Fort.
Location: 4 miles south west of Spennymoor, off the A688
