"A64 road The A64 is a major road in North and West Yorkshire, England, which links Leeds, York and Scarborough. The A64 starts as the A64(M) ring road motorway in Leeds, then towards York it becomes a high-quality dual carriageway until it is east of York, where it becomes a single carriageway for most of its route to Scarborough. The road approximates a section of the old Roman road running from Chester to Bridlington, intersecting Ermine Street – the Old North Road – at York. The road begins in Leeds as the motorway A64(M) at Richmond Hill and the ""Woodpecker"

From here it runs north up Norton Folgate, Shoreditch High Street and Kingsland Road through Stoke Newington (forming Stoke Newington Road and Stoke Newington High Street), Tottenham, Edmonton and Eastern Enfield (Ponders End, Enfield Highway, Enfield Wash and Freezywater) to Royston. This section of Ermine Street from London to Royston, Hertfordshire is now largely part of the A10. At this point it crosses the Icknield Way. From Royston, it was formerly the A14 to the A1 but now it is the A1198 to"

"King Street (Roman road) King Street is the name of a modern road on the line of a Roman road. It runs on a straight course in eastern England, between the City of Peterborough and South Kesteven in Lincolnshire. This English name has long been applied to the part which is still in use and which lies between Ailsworth Heath, in the south and Kate's Bridge, in the north. The old road continued to Bourne thence north-westwards to join Ermine Street south of Ancaster. This part of Ermine Street is called High Dike. In the south, King Street joined Ermine"

The name of the hamlet along this stretch of road was recorded as ""Cocksmiths End"" in 1572 and in 1658."
"Roman Ridge The Roman Ridge is that part of the Roman road of Ermine Street located in the Doncaster area of South Yorkshire, England. Although in places, Ermine Street follows the modern Great North Road (now numbered the A638), there is a stretch between Sunnyfields and Red House which is known as the Roman Ridge. The Roman Ridge departs from the A638 at the ""Sun Inn"" junction with the A635 (or Barnsley Road). Its course runs at an angle bisecting the angle made between the two modern roads. It runs to the west of the A638, roughly parallel to it,"
"had withdrawn from Britain and their roads wore out, people began to wander from the Roman road lines where they could find a more secure footing by taking another line. The Roman equivalent of the A1 was built to a very high standard, during the early years of Roman rule in Britain. The English successors of the Romans in Britain, called this road Ermine Street from their word for ""soldier"", compare the German personal name, Herman.

This is not the same road as the major Roman road named Akeman Street which started from ""Verulamium"" (southwest of St Albans) then via Tring and Aylesbury terminating near Alcester. In Bishop John Fordham's survey of Ely in 1416–1417, an east to west ""Akermanstrete"" or ""Agemanstrete"" is mentioned, which now forms part of the east–west Egremont Street.

It then reached Denver and the coast at Brancaster. Akeman Street Akeman Street was a major Roman road in England that linked Watling Street"

Ermine Street was one of the strategic roads built in the 1st century, early in the period of the Roman occupation of ""Britannia"". The features of King Street are consistent with its having formed part of a development of the region along with the Car Dyke, in the reign of Hadrian (117–138). It may well have been a result of his visit to ""Britannia"" in 122; fairly early in his reign and just after he had spent time sorting out the"

Recent archaeological work in the area of the Papworth Business Park has shown that there was some Bronze Age activity in the area. In the Roman period when Ermine Street was built, in the first century AD, it is unlikely that there was as yet anything we would now recognise as a village there. However, the same archaeological work does shows signs of Romano-British activity, as well as the road. Roman rule collapsed in Britain in 410 AD. It was"
