Icknield St. Roman Road: A Journey Through Time in Buckinghamshire, England This evocative photograph captures a glimpse of Icknield St. Roman Road as it winds its way through the picturesque village of Lewknor in Buckinghamshire, England. Dating back to the Roman era, Icknield St. is believed to have been the primary route connecting Derby to Bourton-on-the-Water, where it joined the Foss Way. The image, taken in the 1930s, reveals a peaceful scene of horses and carts traversing the time-worn road, transporting goods and people through the English countryside. The ancient road, lined with trees and hedgerows, appears largely unchanged from its Roman origins, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. Icknield St. Roman Road is one of the oldest known roads in Britain, with evidence suggesting that it was in use as early as the 1st century AD. The road's name is derived from the Old English word "iccan," meaning "yew tree," and "feld," meaning "open land." This name reflects the dense growth of yew trees that once lined the roadside. The road's historical significance is further emphasized by its connection to the Foss Way, another ancient Roman road that ran from Lincoln to Exeter. Together, these roads formed a vital network of transportation routes, linking various parts of England and facilitating trade and communication between different regions. Today, Icknield St. Roman Road remains an important piece of Britain's rich historical heritage. The road is preserved as a byway open to all traffic, allowing modern-day visitors to follow in the footsteps of the Romans and experience a journey through time. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the road's storied past and the enduring allure of England's ancient history.
