Ermine Street is a Roman road stretching from Bishopsgate, London to York and passing through Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, Northamptonshire, Rutland, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. It was built during the first three decades following the invasion of AD 43, though much of it may have been along existing routeways. Much of the route is still followed by roads today – elsewhere it is often visible in the form of tracks, crop marks or boundaries. The road begins at Bishopsgate, London, Middlesex and runs up through Shoreditch High Street and then through Stoke Newington and Seven Sisters (as part of the modern-day A10) and then to Tottenham (as part of the modern day A1010). North of Tottenham, the route departs from modern roadways, though passes through Edmonton and Southbury to Bulls Cross, to the north of which it crosses into Hertfordshire. Gilmore Close at Bulls Cross forms a section of Ermine Street which is still a public road. This section of Ermine Street is within the council area of Enfield.
