Dere Street, Yorkshire
Dere Street is a Roman road that passes through Yorkshire. It is a modern designation of a Roman road which ran north from Eboracum (York), crossing the Stanegate at Corbridge and continuing to the Firth of Forth. It was constructed by the military to secure the colonisation of northern Britain. The Romans met significant resistance and needed a series of forts to secure the route. Portions of its route are still followed by modern roads, including the A1(M) south of the River Tees. This section of the route is within the council area of North Yorkshire.
