	Icknield Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Icknield Street or Ryknild Street is a Roman road in Britain that runs from Bourton on the Water in Gloucestershire where it connected to the Fosse Way, to Templeborough in South Yorkshire, it went via Alcester, Redditch, the area now covered by Birmingham (where a large fort was located), Lichfield, and what is now Derby.
		It acquired the name Icknield Way during the 12th century but it is now called Icknield Street (or Ryknild Street) to distinguish it from the older Icknield Way, an Iron Age trackway running from Norfolk to Dorset.
		Much of the route of the Icknield Street is still used by modern roads, most notably the A38 from Lichfield to Derby and some retain the name Icknield Street as in Hockley, Birmingham and in Redditch, Worcestershire.

		King Street, still open to traffic, is perhaps even more intriguing for its range of buildings, from the Old Barn to a number of buildings showing off their timber framing.
		On that street to the north of Baldock Street a number of houses were build to support King James I's (1603-1627) love for hunting.
		The building in today's Kneesworth Street with the two tall chimneys is half the palace built for James; the original front of the building has now gone.

		Well, the Icknield Way is another ancient route that followed a sinuous northwest-southeast scarp: the chalky Cretaceous scarp, from Norfolk through the Chilterns to the Berkshire downs and the uplands of the Salisbury Plain.
		As for the name Icknield, its earliest known application was to the Berkshire section; yet it is now mostly applied to the Chiltern section; and it is presumed to derive from the Iceni, the British tribe that occupied what is now Norfolk.
		I was born at a village north of Birmingham called Streetly, showing that it had been on a Roman road (street is Anglo-Saxon straet, from Latin via strata, "paved way", from the root of sternere "to strew" or "stretch" or "spread").

	Hockley Station
		Unfortunately, Icknield Street has undergone major redevelopment over the past few years and the station site had been completely cleared in the late 1990s in anticipation of the Midland Metro opening thus little remains, if anything, of the passenger station.
		This is the remains of a warehouse on the corner of Icknield Street and Pitsford Street - the corner of which opened onto the entrance to the passenger station.
		Above-right we are at the back of the aforementioned industrial units looking at the point where the lines crossed Icknield Street and where the platforms once began with a water tower to the left and the Snow Hill-bound platform in the recess opposite - again, not a trace remains.

		At the roundabout take the first left (Icknield Port Road (which technically starts out as Wood Street)) with the church on your left, and IMMEDIATELY SIGNAL RIGHT - the turning is just before the keep left signs in the road.

		Watling Street is one of the most important Roman military highways in Britain, running from Richborough on the Kentish coast in a westerly direction through Canterbury to London, thereafter heading north-west through Saint Alban's to Mancetter in the Midlands, and at Wall turns due west towards the legionary fortresses in north Wales.
		The Icknield Way bisected Watling Street half a mile to the east of the ramparts, travelling along the Trent Valley through Derventio (Littlechester, Derbyshire) 28 miles to the north-east, eventually on to the fortress of the Ninth far to the north at Colonia Eboracensis (York).
		To the south Icknield Way passed through the fort complex at Metchley in Birmingham to the salt works at Salinae (Droitwich Spa) some 33 miles away, and beyond through the potteries at Vertis (Worcester) to the old legionary fortress of the Second Augusta at Colonia Glevensis (Gloucester).

	'Icknield Street'
		Hutton's greatest mistake was to identify the old Warstone Lane (Monument Road) with 'Icknield Street'.
		It was known that a Roman road could be found south and north of Birmingham : no name for it had survived, but medieval scholars had confused it with the Icknield Way of Norfolk and so it became 'Icknield Street'.
		It was due to Hutton's theory that when an old track from Warstone Lane to Hockley was made up as a street in 1841, both it and that part of the lane which joined it to Summer Hill were called Icknield Street and so remain.

	Aston History
		The eastern extent of Aston New Town was provided by Sutton Street and The Retreat, beyond which lay the district of Aston Brook.
		The final neighbourhood within Aston Manor (excluding Lozells) was that to the south of Salford Reservoir and was focused on Waterworks Street- By the early 1890s Aston had a population of almost 54,000 and building was ongoing.
		It is therefore unlikely that the teasmades were actually made in Corporation Street which was, after all, in the middle of the shopping and businessdistrict.
