Cade's Road

Cade's Road is a Roman Road in north-east England. It is named after John Cade of Durham, an 18th-century antiquarian who in 1785 proposed its existence and possible course from the Humber Estuary northwards to the River Tyne, a distance of about 100 miles (160 km). The road's Roman name is unknown. Although evidence exists for such a road on some parts of the proposed route, there is still some doubt regarding its exact course. Examples of place names with the suffix "le-Street": Chester-le-Street, County Durham (Concangis Roman fort) Thornton-le-Street, near Thirsk, North Yorkshire Thorpe le Street, near Pocklington, East Riding of Yorkshire
