The first Roman Fort was built in 79.AD under the order of the Roman General Agricola and called it ''Mamucium'' (first name of Manchester). The fort was built to guard the crossing over the River Medlock and placed near the junction of the roman roads between the legionary fortresses of Deva Victrix (Chester) and Eboracum (York), running west - east and the road to Bremetennacum (Ribchester) to the north.
