The wall which was built in northern England in 122 AD was Hadrian's Wall. It was 117.5 kilometres (73 miles) long. The wall which was built in Scotland between the Firth of Forth and the First of Clyde in 142 AD was the Antonine Wall. It was 63 kilometres (39 miles) long.
Hadrian's Wall is roughly between England and Scotland.
Hadrian built the wall across the width of the northern part of Britain - about 73 miles - with a series of military forts, mainly to keep out the warring tribes to the north (in what is now Scotland) and to mark the boundary of the Roman Empire. It was ordered to be built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, when he visited Britain in AD 122. Much of it still remains to this day, and it is a popular tourist attraction. It's called Hadrian's Wall.
i believe wall street had something to do with slave trading.
The location of the wall was planned to take advantage of the Whin Sill, a geological outcrop which runs west to east across the north of england. The wall was built for a.economic reasons ( levying of taxes) b. to control the passage of people between the tribes to the north and those to the south. c. provide quick communications for the military d. allow the emperor Hadrian to create his own substantial building projects as had his predecessor the emperor Hadrian. By 1600 AD the English /Scottish border was established to the north of the Wall ...but the Wall is not the border
