Anthony Roberts: 'Forget the Taj Mahal... we have our own temple'
Will they tell of the heroics of a woman called Boadicea? Perhaps they will draw the pupils attention to the great Roman wall or the remains of the awe-inspiring temple of Claudius? Maybe they shall tell the tale of how the great brick building known as Jumbo came to be built? Maybe even that 4,000 year old story of Jumbo’s origins will contribute to the discussion they will no doubt still be having about what to do with it. I feel sure that all these stories will feature. But they will be but footnotes when placed against the true colossus which sits in our very midst today.
