Blackstone Edge Roman Road is possibly one of the most famous Roman roads in Britain. And it's unique, in that it's paved.

Yet doubt has been cast over it's authenticity for nearly 60 years. Despite that, it's still marked as Roman on the Ordnance Survey map.

In this video, we take a look at the arguments for and against. And, if it's not Roman, where is the Roman road linking Ilkley to Manchester?

This was quite a hard video to pull together as I'd been on drugs for a week previously. Painkillers for a bad back.
