Royston from the air
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 12 Nov 2007
This view over the town of Royston vividly shows the straightness of the Roman road, Ermine Street, which now forms the A1198 towards Papworth and Huntingdon. Southwards, Ermine Street disappears from the picture as the A10 towards London. (The A10 continues northeast to Cambridge, leaving the picture, along with the railway line, about ¼ down the right-hand edge.)
