This Roman road ran from London to Wroxeter in Wales; via St. Albans and Leicester (where it intersected the Fosse Way; the Roman road from Exeter to Lincoln). Triangulation points and pencil rays used to plot the survey of the region are clearly visible at the top of the sheet.1817.From: H Stevens.OSD 261London; British Library.
