There are also so many great sites right around Pompeii that are usually almost empty! Oplontis! Stabiae! Herculaneum! And a little further away but a personal favorite, Baiae!
This is probably the right decision. We hope it will encourage people to try other sites. *cough*OSTIA*cough*

Visited Saltaire today. Named after Titus Salt, who built a textile mill and village for the workers between 1851 and 1871. Village included houses, school, hospital, church, dining room, bath-house and indoor recreation building. Designed by architects, Lockwood and Mawson. #heritage #architecture

All Saint's Church Brixworth, Northamptonshire is perhaps the most important survival of Anglo-Saxon architecture north of the Alps. Much of the C7th church remains from the reign of King Wulfhere in the form of a Roman Basilica. The stair turret is C10th. Spire is C14th.
