Der 118km lange Hadrianswall wurde 122 n.Chr. unter Kaiser Hadrian im Norden Englands errichtet und verläuft etwa zwischen Carlisle und Newcastle an der schmalsten Stelle der Insel. Der Wall war mit Gräben und verschiedenen Forts befestigt. Eines davon war Vercovicium/ Housesteads Roman Fort. Der Hadrianswall ist zusammen mit den Antonine Wall (Schottland) und dem Limes UNESCO Weltkulturerbe.

English is quite unique in that the class divide shows in the language, not only in the origin of the words but also in the accent.
Yes, we Germans are pretty bad with composite words, one of the reasons English is easier to learn than German. Borrowing a word is fine when there's no suitable word in your own language but I hate "Denglish" because usually there are perfectly good German words.

A fun look at how English might look if Harold had won is David Cowley's _How We'd Talk If the English Had Won in 1066_. It's available as an e-book.
