Leytonstone is an area of East London and part of the London Borough of Waltham Forest. It is a suburban area, located seven miles north-east of Charing Cross in Greater London. It borders Walthamstow to the north-west, Wanstead (in the London Borough of Redbridge) to the north, Leyton to the south, and Forest Gate (in the London Borough of Newham) to the east. == History == The main thoroughfare, High Road Leytonstone, running the length of Leytonstone to Stratford, is an ancient pathway dating to pre-Roman times. Roman archaeological features have been found in the area.〔 Kennedy, J. (A History of the Parish of Leyton, Essex ) Phelp Brothers, Leyton (1894), digital copy at archive.org 〕 "There was a Roman cemetery south of Blind Lane, and massive foundations of some Roman building, with quantities of Roman brick, were discovered in the grounds of Leyton Grange."〔 〕 The High Stone at the junction of Hollybush Hill and New Wanstead, near the eastern boundary of the parish at the junction of the roads from Woodford and Woodford Bridge, is a restored 18th-century obelisk set up on an earlier stump which has been traditionally described as a Roman milestone.〔 Two of the obelisk's inscriptions are still just legible: others are not. :''"To Epping XI Miles through Woodford, Loughton"'' :''"To Ongar XV Miles through Woodford Bridge, Chigwell, Abridge"'' The earliest known cartographic reference to Leytonstone is dated from 1545. Leytonstone was the centre of protests against the construction of the M11 link road, in the early 1990s. 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「Leytonstone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
