Dear Mr Howgate,
With reference to your enquiry regarding local society publications on sites of
Roman occupation.
Are you checking stock held in local studies libraries ?
If you could supply us with details of references you hold for Oldham /
Saddleworth we could check our stock, and fill in any gaps.
Yours Sincerely
Terry Berry
