RYKNIELD-STREET, an ancient British way, adoptedby the Romans, from Gloucester, north-by-eastward, to Aldborough in Yorkshire; and probably thence also to the mouth of the river Tyne. It went by Alcester; sentoff a branch from the vicinity of Hagley to Droitwich and Kenchester; crossed Watling-street at Wall in Staffordshire; crossed the Via Devana at Branston; proceeded by Little Chester, Chesterfield, and Temple-Brough, to Aldborough; and, if it went thence to the mouth of the Tyne, went by Catterick and Binchester.
