Inside the walkway, the hare on his bike checks that no one has been left behind
We spot the line of 4 access shafts for Roman Emporor Hadrian's ancient underground aqueduct (depth 20 metres).
Shafts were sunk every 35 metres to allow for cleaning and repairs.
The shafts 128, 129, 130 and 131, were stripped of their embankments to lower
