Dist:0.3km<br/>It is amazing to think that this narrow road was originally the arterial A10 from London to Cambridge. The houses on the left are old, and the far one with the cream rendering has a jettied front. [[621050]] is just visible down the street on the right.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Dating from about 1530, but much altered since, the Crown & Falcon is on the High Street in Puckeridge. This was originally the Roman road of Ermine Street that linked London with Lincoln and York and more recently the main A10 road. However the construction of the bypass has removed all the through traffic from the town. This photograph was taken some 18 months after Robert's [[133988]] The pub's website is here http://www.crown-falcon.demon.co.uk/

Dist:0.7km<br/>Viewed looking downstream and southwards from the B1368 road bridge over the long dismantled Buntingford railway branch line. The track bed follows the gap between the trees to the right. The former Braughing railway station is on the other side of the bridge.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Braughing was one of the intermediate stations on the 13¾ mile long branch line from St Margarets near Ware to Buntingford. The line survived for 101 years from 1863 to 1964. The station was not in Braughing but about halfway between Braughing and Puckeridge. It has been maintained since by the descendants of the last stationmaster, and is a private residence, but it does include a restored signal box, and a short length of track with a coach.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This section of the old A10 is called Cambridge Road. It follows the course of a Roman road known as Ermine Street and, at one time, the A10 followed the course of this road for miles. Now, some sections, like this one, have been by-passed by the new A10 that runs parallel to it.
