I wonder if Stone street street refers to an old Roman road?

I think it it does. There are two length of Stone Street, and if you extend them on the map they are probably different lengths of the same road the same road, if you see what I mean.

And they would have been built in stone as well as being straight presumably :)

I wonder if 'street' and 'straight' have the same derivation? Must look that up.

Both appear to be variants of O.E. 'streht' so same word to all intents and purposes.
