Pye Road


Pye Road is a Roman road running from the capital of the Iceni at Venta Icenorum to the original Roman provincial capital and legionary base at Camulodunum. The road was later extended, connecting it to the new provincial capital north of the bridge over the Thames at Londinium, although that part of the route is also known by the name the

Route

The road runs from Venta Icenorum to Camulodunum, partly sharing a route with the A140 road. Between Colchester and London, the path of the former gravel road is not as certain, but it is believed to follow Ilford's High Street, Romford Road, a now unpaved route through the present Olympic Park, and then the line of Whitechapel Road to Aldgate in the northeast corner of the City of London.
