One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall.

Love location-spotting things like this. Cruachan dam (near Oban in Scotland) appears as the Empire garrison base in Andor and the McLaren technology centre near Woking in England is Coruscant spaceport 😂
