A length of Roman bath-house wall over 9 metres (30 feet) high, near a museum displaying the archaeology of Leicester and its region. 

The only visible remains of Roman Leicester are these public baths. The bathing ritual lay at the heart of Roman social life.

Two thousand years ago, this part of Leicester was an important settlement for the 'Corieltavi', a native British tribe who occupied the area known today as the East Midlands.  Following the Roman Conquest of AD 43 the town was called 'Ratae Corieltavorum'.  It became a thriving centre for the next 400 years.

The Andrew Jackson Cottage highlights Carrickfergus' strong American and Ulster-Scots connections as well as telling the story of Andrew Jackson, the 7th president of the USA, whose parents emigrated to America from Carrickfergus in 1765. Located less than a mile from the town centre off the Larne Road, this single storey building has been restored to its original state.

The interior has been decorated with a dresser, sponge wear crockery, iron pots and griddles. The cottage also has a collection of Ulster patchwork quilts.
