	Roman Roads
		Ermine Street runs due north from London to Braughing, a small and picturesque village 6 miles beyond Ware, from which roads diverge in several directions, making it quite an important junction at that time.
		Ermine Street continued its northward course to the Humber in a most impressively undeviating fashion, and at a point a few miles from Lincoln a branch led off north-westward, crossing the River Trent at Littleborough, to give another route to York, through Doncaster, that would avoid the Humber crossing.
		Ermine Street crossed the river 1/4 mile west of the town, in a position that, if the route were reconstituted, would provide an ideal line for the by-pass so sorely needed there.

	Towards Ware
		Margary considered that the Roman Ermine Street, leading northwards from the Thames crossing, emerged from the eastern side of the original city and then, when the city walls were extended, through a gateway at Bishopsgate.
		The line would take Ermine Street through the sports fields west of Great Cambridge Road and it is then picked up by a short stretch of the A105 to Bull's Cross, from which a minor road continues the line, taking the road into Hertfordshire.
		Ermine Street kept to high ground, well above the marshes surrounding the River Lea, though, as Ogilby recorded, there were a number of east-flowing brooks and rills to cross.
