The wealth of Corbridge across the centuries is reflected in the many beautiful items of jewellery and ornate glassware in the collection. Extensive trade links are demonstrated by pottery from North Africa, olive oil from Spain and figurines from France. The many industries at Corbridge over its 350-year occupation have also left their mark. There is evidence of metal-working, pottery making, bone working and glass production as well as a wide range of masonry and carpentry tools.
