Once the Roman Road Watling Street, then the arterial A5 road, and then by-passed by the A5, this is now just the High Street in the centre of Markyate. The Sun Inn, which is the pale yellow building on the right side of the street, bears witness to its former use as a stagecoach inn. The 1884 Ordnance Survey map calls the town Markyatestreet.
