Everything about Romano-british Road Names totally explained

Roads ending in 'gate'

Roman roads used by the Saxons and hence re-named, in Old English, with the suffix 'geat' or 'gate'.

Roads ending in 'Street'

In the Anglo-Saxon era, (hence the modern word "street") simply meant a paved road (Latin: "via strata") as opposed to a native dirt track, and didn't have the modern association with populated areas. It was therefore appended to many old Roman roads that remained in use in the Saxon and subsequent eras.

Roads ending in 'Way'
