(14) Chester to Manchester. (a) Nantwich to Kinderton; Kind Street. (15) Manchester to Oldham and the north-east. (a) Doctor Gate. (6) Manchester to Buxton.

(11) Watling Street to Chester.--Higden, the monk of Chester, though he describes the course of Watling Street with considerable fulness, does not say that it led to Chester. Horsley1 had been informed that Watling Street, or a branch of it, went by Newport and Whitchurch from Wall to Chester, and that it appeared in several places. It is probably represented by a line of highways branching from Watling Street on the west of Gailey near the site of Pennocrucium, 22 miles east of Wroxeter. From Stretton, half-amile north of Watling Street, a highway lies in very nearly one straight line for two miles and a third to near Longnor brook, where the present road turns north to cross the brook by Stonyford Bridge. A lane for an eighth of a 1 Britannia Romana, p. 417. 72 mile on the south-east of Little Onn Hall, and threequarters of a mile of a track and a highway in the same direction on the north-east of High Onn, are the only indications for five miles; and then highways follow the same direction for nearly two miles on the north-east of Aqualate, past what is marked...

There have been many books on Britain's Roman roads, but none have considered in any depth their long-term strategic impact. Mike Bishop shows how the road network was vital not only in the Roman strategy of conquest and occupation, but influenced the course of British military history during subsequent ages. ??The author starts with the pre-Roman origins of the network (many Roman roads being built over prehistoric routes) before describing how the Roman army built, developed, maintained and used it. Then, uniquely, he moves on to the post-Roman history of the roads. He shows how they were crucial to medieval military history (try to find a medieval battle that is not near one) and the governance of the realm, fixing the itinerary of the royal progresses. Their legacy is still clear in the building of 18th century military roads and even in the development of the modern road network. Why have some parts of the network remained in use throughout??The text is supported with clear maps and photographs. ??Most books on Roman roads are concerned with cataloguing or tracing them, or just dealing with aspects like surveying. This one makes them part of military landscape archaeology.
