Here's an old picture of a leafy path for you to guess the location of.
To the right is a road which is now a main route out of this town and you can see a man wearing a flat cap.
The sun is beaming down and the trees are providing some delicious shade, making this look like a very pleasant place to stroll.
In fact, this route used to have a different name and was once known as The New Walk.
It's part of a former route of walls constructed by the Romans to provide elaborate defence to this town.
If you guessed that this was a picture of Colliton Walk in Dorchester, then well done, you do know the area well.
By 1901 'The Grove' ran parallel to the old Roman Wall and Colliton Walk on the right
Here's a picture of how Colliton Walk, which leads to the nearby Roman Town House, looks today.
