	Stane Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stane Street, sometimes called Stone Street (Stane is simply an old spelling of "stone" which was commonly used to differentiate paved Roman roads from muddy native trackways), is the modern name given to an important Roman road in England that linked London to the Roman town of Regnum (near modern Chichester).
		Stane Street is especially interesting as it shows clearly the principles of planning that the Romans used.
		The line of the road runs south west from London Bridge, closely followed by the Northern Line through Clapham and Tooting up to Colliers Wood and Merton.

	Watling Street
		Watling Street, however, kept on higher ground to the south, nearly in the line of New Road, and on by Old Street Road, and at the back of St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, and by Nag’s Head Lane, to the south-east gate of the Roman station Durobrivae at Rochester.
		At Marykate Street the modern road rejoins Watling Street, and winds in a shallow valley with county and parish boundaries along the middle of it to Dunstable.
		Watling Street enters it at the north-east, and the ford across the Severn is opposite the village of Wroxeter at the south-west of the Roman city.

	Grange Paddocks - Bishop's Stortford and Thorley - A History and Guide
		The Roman road Stane Street crosses Grange Paddocks in an east-west direction, and during one of this country's rare hot summers its track beneath the parched grass was clearly visible from the air.
		The site was close to the point where Stane Street would have crossed the river, and it was hoped that some evidence would be found of a Roman stone-built bridge.
		In the late 19th and early 20th century, virtually all of the land in this area, including that between Rye Street and the river, was part of the Gilbey estate.

	BRAUGHING (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In recognition of this, five roads radiate out from Braughing, including Ermine Street on its journey to the north and, importantly, Stane Street connecting with Colchester: some of these routes, particularly Stane Street, are thought to have been constructed on aleady existing native trackways.
		Air photographs show that buildings were arranged alongside all five roads and extended to roughly to the same boundaries as the preceeding Celtic settlement, which was of similar or greater extent.
		Excavations undertaken along the line of Ermine Street, which skirted the settlements western extremity, revealed that both sides were lined with timber buildings, represented by gravel floors and post-holes, of which the earliest were Claudian.

	SEAX Archaeology - Unlocking Essex's Past
		In the Roman period Stane Street ran through Coggeshall to Colchester, and there may well have been a minor road on the southern side of the later town linking Stane Street to Kelvedon.
		Excavations on the eastern edge of the town have revealed part of a Roman farm or villa complex, containing at least one masonry structure and one timber structure set within a grid of paddocks, fields and a droveway.
		Later in the medieval period the focus of settlement shifted downslope to the area around the market-place just to the north of Stane Street, a movement which may be associated with the granting of a market charter in 1256 to the abbey.

	Hunting the origins of Roman London
		The main positive evidence comes from six roads: Wading Street east to Canterbury; Stane Street south-west to Chichester; the route west to Silchester; Wading Street north-west to St Albans; Ermine Street north to Godmanchester; and the route east to Colchester.
		Stane Street and Ermine Street are aligned on London Bridge and the City, and are therefore probably no earlier than them.
		But the two Wading Streets can be projected to meet at Westminster, suggesting to Sole and Fuentes a primary river crossing there.

	Untitled Document
		Hertfordshire's situation between London and most of the other major Roman towns in Roman Britain has meant that it has probably the highest density of major Roman roads in Britain, in addition to a number of smaller, regional and local routes.
		The three major long distance roads (the equivalent of Roman motorways) are Ermine Street (the A10), which ran from London to York, Watling Street (the A5) which ran from London to Wroxeter via St Albans, and Akemen Street, (the A41) which ran from London to Cirencester.
		In addition to these national, long distance routes, Stane Street was an important regional road which ran from east to west between St Albans and Colchester, the ancient capital of Britain, and like Akemen Street it was probably an important Prehistoric route before the Romans came.

	Level 3 - Life in Roman Sussex - Transport & Communication
		The most famous road is Stane Street, linking Chichester to London, which illustrates in its three main alignments the accuracy and brilliance of Roman surveying.
		The construction of a Roman road such as Stane Street began with the digging of two parallel outer ditches, with two inner ditches defining the limits of the road proper.
		An embankment called an agger was built up between the inner ditches, with top layers of gravel or flints (metalling) laid down to improve drainage.
