Migration for Work focused on people who had moved to the
U.K and to the region and made a contribution to the development of the area.
The students were introduced to archive material relating to
a Roman Empire iron works situated in the Hastings area. The site was under the
control of Classis Britannica, the
provincial navel fleet of ancient Rome. Part of this archive in the stored
collected at Bexhill Museum are the excavated remains of a bath house from the
site. Along with clay tiles, the remains
include “opus caementicium”, Roman concrete, a new technology migrated to
Britain.
This material inspired the project group to compare the lives of three people who worked extensively in concrete material and built significant structures in the region and left enduring legacies.
