Pye Road is a Roman road running through three of the eastern counties – Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk – from Camulodunum (Colchester) to Venta Icenorum (Caistor St Edmund, near Norwich).
Route
The road runs from Colchester northwards, partly sharing a route with the A140 road.[1] 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 (A118), a now unpaved route through the present Olympic Park, and then the line of Whitechapel Road to Aldgate in the north-east corner of the City of London.[2]
