There are many of these shop fronts still visible today and the Town still maintains it's reputation for boutique, independent shopping. The Market Place has a Butcher and Baker (but no candlestick maker), a florist, food store, Thresher the off license, a sweet shop, Book shop, the Corbridge Tandoori and a wedding dress shop. The massively varied shops on the streets around should just be explored in person for their uniqueness and quirky variety including a large number of ladies fashion shops, gift shops and jewellers.For food shopping, other than the Butcher and Baker, on Hill Street there is a Co-op supermarket and the Corbridge Larder. I believe that the Corbridge Larder is something special that should be celebrated. The Delicatessen is unlike any other shop that you'll come across, they stand for quality and value above all else and have done for over twenty years. Their products are extensive and of the finest quality: over 100 types of cheese, 80 types of jam, marmalade and honey, home-made pies, quiches and tarts, Italian antipasto, Greek meze and fine cheese from their award winning cheese shop. Their coffee shop only serves what they sell, which is a statement of pure confidence in what their produce, and rightly so. You simply can't visit Corbridge without popping to the Corbridge Larder.
On the Eastern edge of Corbridge, just off the A69 is Brockbushes award-winning Farm Shop, a great place to stop off and pick up some amazing local produce if you are passing by. It's very conveniently located, has a lovely tea room and pick your own facilities when the fruit is in season.Corbridge plays host to he annual Northumbria Food and Wine Festival in October each year.

Exploring the Town of Corbridge and the Housesteads Roman Fort on Hadrian's Wall
Day 2, Part 2 of the Great SPiS Adventure. We have progressed to the town of Corbridge in the north of England. A beautiful little town to stroll around in. Last stop of the day is a large Roman fortress along Hadrian's Wall called Housesteads. This is a large and rather remarkable ruin of a 2000 year old Roman fort that was one of Rome's last defense against the barbarians to the north.

In AD90, the site of Corbridge was chosen as a site for a major Roman fort designed to protect a bridge spanning the River Tyne. This early fort, complete with turf ramparts and timber buildings, was burnt down in AD105.
In AD121 the fort was rebuilt again to accommodate a different garrison, and now contained space for a unit of 1,000 infantry men. By AD125 the garrison had left Corbridge and probably moved to the newer forts on Hadrian’s Wall (situated two miles to the north).
From about AD125 until AD140, the fort at Corbridge lay vacant, whilst the forts on Hadrian’s Wall thrived with activity. When the Romans moved into Scotland again in AD140, Corbridge was reoccupied by a mixed garrison of cavalry and infanty. The new fort was the same size as its predecessors, although the main buildings were this time built in stone.
Further alterations to the internal layout followed in about AD155, with more buildings being replaced in stone. A fragmentary inscription, recording building in AD155 – 158, records the date of this change which was necessary to adapt the fort for a new troop unit withdrawn from Scotland at the time of its abandonment by the Roman army.
It was not until the reign of Septimius Severus (AD193 – 211) that the major buildings now visible on the site began to take their final form. Along the south side of the Stanegate (the central road leading through the heart of Corbridge), a pair of works compounds, barrack blocks and other accommodation was built for detachments of two legions, the sixth and the twentieth. From an early stage, both compounds were surrounded by separate walls and their entrances faced each other across a street leading south from the Stanegate. The enclosing walls run in a curiously irregular manner behind already existing buildings fronting on the south side of the Stanegate.
This phase marks the end of the change in character which had been going on at Corbridge since about AD163. The site was now a town, with military compounds forming part of its central core.
From about AD200 and for the next two centuries, Corbridge continued to thrive as a town with a military garrison in occupation. The military compounds continued in occupation through the whole of the third and fourth centuries AD, and many of the finds from the site belong to this period of use. Eventually the two compounds were united by a new wall and gate on the south side of the main street. They retained their character as an army camp within what was increasingly a civilian town.
Corbridge continued to act as a civilian and military centre well into the 4th century AD, although there is limited information about the town during this time. It is also not known when the site was abandoned, although most historians suggest that this would have been around the same time as the Roman legions were recalled from Britain in the early 5th century.
For those not lucky enough to be able to visit the site in person, we have captured two 360 degree shots from the site; the first is from inside of the strong room where soldiers pay would have been kept. The second panorama shows the Stanegate running through the centre of the town. Simply use your mouse on the image below to navigate between the two panoramas!
After the destruction of the fort, a new fort, still in turf and timber, was quickly built to replace it. It’s layout was altered considerably, and only the headquarters building occupied the same site as before.

Corbridge is a village in Northumberland, England, 16 miles west of Newcastle and 4 miles east of Hexham. Villages nearby include Halton, Acomb, Aydon and Sandhoe. Known to the Romans as something like Corstopitum or Coriosopitum, wooden writing tablets found at Vindolanda suggest it was probably locally called Coria (meaning a tribal centre). According to Bethany Fox, the early attestations of the English name Corbridge 'show variation between Cor- and Col-, as in the earliest two forms, Corebricg and Colebruge, and there has been extensive debate about what its etymology may be. Some relationship with the Roman name Corstopitum seems clear, however'.
Coria was the most northerly town in the Roman Empire, lying at the junction of Stanegate and Dere Street. The first fort was established c. AD 85, although there was a slightly earlier base nearby at Beaufront Red House. By the middle of the 2nd century AD, the fort was replaced by a town with two walled military compounds, which were garrisoned until the end of the Roman occupation of the site. The best-known finds from the site include the stone Corbridge Lion and the Corbridge Hoard of armour and sundry other items. In Rudyard Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill, the town of Hunno on the Wall, is probably based on Corstopitum. The Roman Town is now managed by English Heritage on behalf of HM Government. The site has been largely excavated and features a large museum and shop. The fort is the top-rated attraction in Corbridge and is open daily between 10 and 6 in the summer and at weekends between 10 and 4 in the winter.
There are only three fortified vicarages in the county, and one of these is in Corbridge. Built in the 14th century, the Vicar's Pele is to be found in the south-east corner of the churchyard, and has walls 1.3 metres (4 ft) in thickness. The register for St. Andrews dates from 1657. Later on in the town's history, Wesleyan, Primitive and Free Methodist chapels were all built too. Even older than the Vicar's Pele is Corbridge Low Hall, dating from the late 13th or early 14th century with one end converted to a pele tower in the 15th century. The main block was remodelled in the 16th and 17th centuries, and the building restored c1890.
Corbridge suffered, as did many other settlements in the county, from the border warfare which was particularly prevalent between 1300 and 1700. Raids were commonplace, and it was not unusual for the livestock to be brought into the town at night and a watch placed to guard either end of the street for marauders. A bridge over the Tyne was built in the 13th century, but this original has not survived. The present bridge, an impressive stone structure with seven arches, was erected in 1674.
Corbridge is bypassed to the north by the A69 road, linking it to Newcastle and Carlisle. It is also linked to Newcastle and the A1 by the A695 which passes about 1 mile (1.6 km) away on the south side of the River Tyne. The town is served by Corbridge railway station on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, also known as the Tyne Valley Line. The line was opened in 1838, and links the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear with Carlisle in Cumbria. The line follows the course of the River Tyne through Northumberland.
