SU8806 : Stane Street
taken 7 years ago, near to Westhampnett, West Sussex, England
Stane Street is the modern name given to an important 90-kilometre-long Roman road that linked London to the Roman town of Noviomagus Reginorum, or Regnentium, later renamed Chichester by the Saxons.
Today the Roman road is easily traceable on modern maps. Much of the route is followed by the A3, A24, A29 and A285, although most of the course through the modern county of Surrey has either been completely abandoned or is followed only by bridlepaths.
Westhampnett is a village in the district of Chichester in West Sussex, located 2 kilometres north-east of Chichester on the former A27 road, now by-passed. The hamlet of Maudlin is attached to the village. Rolls Royce have their assembly plant on the edge of the village.
