The A1010 is a road running through north London from Bruce Grove in Tottenham to Waltham Cross. It also used to continue north through Cheshunt to Turnford.〔Ordnance Survey One Inch Seventh Series Sheet 161 ''London N.E.'', Edition C, 1970〕 The road is part of the historic Hertford Road, a route running north from Bishopsgate along the western side of the Lea Valley, through Stoke Newington, Tottenham, Edmonton, Ponders End, Waltham Cross, Cheshunt and Broxbourne to Hoddesdon, where it split into Hertford and Ware branches. The southern end of the Hertford Road between London and Tottenham is thought to follow the Roman Ermine Street and the northern end takes a more easterly course through Edmonton and Enfield than the built-over Roman northern section.〔Ordnance Survey Explorer 174 ''Epping Forest & Lee Valley'', Ed A1, 2000, ISBN 0-319-21988-7〕 The route is featured in William Cowper's 1782 comic ballad ''The Diverting History of John Gilpin'', which describes the chaotic progress of the hero along the road from London to Ware and back, failing twice to stop his borrowed horse at his intended destination, the Bell in Edmonton.〔(Cowper W),''The Poetical works of William Cowper'', London: Frederick Warne and Co, 1892〕 The Enfield Highway section of the A1010 was used to film the BBC TV movie ''Learners''. The route from London to Ware was designated in the early 20th century as the southern section of the A10. Large sections were progressively by-passed by dual carriageway. The A1010 was the earliest section to be by-passed, by the Great Cambridge Road (originally designated A108)〔Ordnance Survey One Inch New Popular edition Sheet 160 ''London N.W.'', Full rev 1930 with later corrections Published 1945〕〔Ordnance Survey One Inch New Popular Edition Sheet 161 ''London N.E.'', Full rev 1930 with later corrections Published 1945〕 which runs parallel about to the west. Unlike the new road, which developed as an important centre of the electronics industry,〔Jim Lewis 1999, ''London's Lea Valley'', Phillimore, ISBN 1-86077-100-9〕 the old road remained generally more commercial and residential in nature. The southern end of the A1010 is named Tottenham High Road, becoming Fore Street from Upper Edmonton to Edmonton Green. For the northern part the name Hertford Road is used, passing through Ponders End, Enfield Highway, Enfield Wash, Freezywater and Bullsmoor. At Waltham Cross the old route is the pedestrianised High Street, which the designated A1010 by-passes, terminating at the A121. To the north the historic route to Ware is now designated as the B176 and A1170. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A1010 road」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
