{- Per boarshill on HEIRtagger: "Birdoswald is a Roman fort on Hadrians Wall. The River Irthing runs east west immediately to the south of the fort, twisting and in something of a shallow gorge. Sides of the gorge are wooded as in this photo. If I am right that there is a house in the photo, I cannot find it on the modern map." -}

per email from Martin Rush 24/08/2020: " HEIR 38726 - Birdoswald: R. Irthing" "The Irthing at Birdoswald" "XY. K.591 Wa"

The HEIR photo is credited to Peachey and therefore probably taken in the 1930s. He might well have used it in his travelling lectures about the Roman Wall.

Here Peachey styles himself ARPS (Associate of the Royal Photographic Society): he became an RPS Associate in 1930."
