I 1.2 Subject to satisfactory progress through the statutory procedures, construction of the Bypass is planned to begin in 1994, opening to traffic approximately 2 years I later. 1.3 This Environmental Statement summarises an assessment of the environmental I effects of the proposed scheme in accordance with sub-section 105A(2) of the Highways Act 1980 as added (0 by the Highways (Assessment of Environmental I Effects) Regulations 1988. This legislation implements, in respect of Trunk Roads, the provisions of the EC Directive on environmental assessment I (85/337/EEC) . I I I I I I I I I I 1 • A4191A417 Cirencester & Stratton Bypass I Environmental Statement I 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION I 2.1 SETTLEMENTS I 2.1.1 The town of Cirencester and village of Slratton lie in South Gloucestershire, not far from the county boundary with Wiltshire. The town of Cirencester dates from I Roman times when it was known as Corinium; during this period it was second in importance only to Londinium. It lies at the intersection of three major Roman roads: Foss Way, Akeman Street and Ermin Way; the latter of these now forms I the A419/ A417 Trunk Road corridor. I 2.1.2 Since Roman times, Cirencester developed as a medieval market town and was dominated by the Augustinian Abbey of St Mary. Following the dissolution of I the monasteries the town developed as the' centre of the Cotswolds wool trade. Today, Cirencester is the largest settlement in the Cotswolds with a population I which has increased from 12,000 in 1961 to over 16,000 in 1981 and has become the principal service, shopping and employment centre for the area. The historic centre of the town is bounded to the north "east by the existing Trunk Road; I however, the town has expanded to the north-east to include the mainly residential areas of New Mills, KingshiIl and the Beeches, the majority of which were I constructed betwccn 1945 and 1964. The main hospital serving this area of South Gloucestershire is situated in an area known as 'The Querns' adjacent to A419 I Tetbury Road. Two large schools are located on opposite sides of the town, outside the historic centre; Kingshill School is located on Kingshill Lane to the I east of the town whilst the Decr Park School is situated to the west of the town. Light industry is centred to the south of the town centre in the Love Lane Industrial Estate. To the west of the town lies Cirencestcr Park which has a grade I 1 listing in English Heritage's Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Histori.c I Interest. 2.1.3 The village of Stratton lies betwccn the existing Trunk Road and A435 I Cheltenham Road, approximately 2 km north of the centre of Cirencestcr. Since the second World War the village has expanded and now occupies the majority of I the tri.angle of land betwcen A417(T) Gloucester Road, A435 Cheltenham Road and Baunton Lane. I I 2 I • A419/A417 Cirencester & Stratton Bypass I Environmental Statement I 2.1.4 There are a number of small villages surrounding the main CirencesterlStratton development. Preston, Harnhill, Driffi.eld, Siddington and South Cemey lie to the I south and east of the town. Baunton, Perrolt's Brook and Bagendon lie to the I north and Daglingworth lies to the north-west. 2.2 ROAD NETWORK (SEE FTGURE 2) I 2.2.1 A partial Trunk Road improvement around the historic centre of Cirencester was constructed some years ago. This removed most of the through traffic from the I town centre but provided no traffic relief for Stratton and Bowling Green. The A4191A417 Trunk Roads around the historic centre of Cirencester and through the I village of Stratton run in a north-westlsouth-east direction; together they form an important link between the M5 near Gloucester and the M4 at Swindon. Trunk I road traffic volumes in the immediate area around Cirencester and Slratton are significantly higher than volumes to the north and south of the area. Between I London Road and Gloucester Street the Trunk Road runs in close proximity to Cirencester town centre and although the volume of through traffic in the town centre is relatively low, lengthy queues occur during peak periods at the Spitalgate I Lane traffic signal junction and at London Road Roundabout. This is directly attributable to the inter-relationship between trunk road traffic and local traffic. I Spitalgate Lane Junction in particular causes queues to extend southwards to London Road Roundabout and northwards to Cheltenham Road Junction during I the peak peri.ods. The traffic volume between Spitalgate Lane and Cheltenham Road junctions is 23,600 Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) 1991. I Approximately 10% of this flow is made up of heavy goods vehicles. 2.2.2 The Trunk Road varies in standard as it passes through the area. Through Stratton I the A417(T) is single carriageway with footways on both sides and is subject to a 40mph speed limit. There are a number of junctions with side roads and accesses I to the many properties which lie adjacent to the road through the village. From this point the Trunk Road continues across the River Chum at Gloucester Street I Bridge before passing between residential property and an area of Public Open Space at Abbey Way. At the Spitalgate Lane traffic signal junction, through I traffic on the Trunk Road is confined to a single lane in each direction. South of this junction, the Trunk Road becomes dual carriageway and continues to the I London Road roundabout which marks the end of the 40mph speed limit. I 3 I I A419/A417 Cirencester & Stranon Bypass I Environmental Statement I Beyond London Road Roundabout the dual carriageway continues south between Cirencester town centre and 'The Beeches' residential area to the Watermoor I Roundabout, beyond which it continues to the Preston Toll Bar junction. Between London Road Roundabout and Preston Toll Bar there are no minor road junctions I or accesses and the national speed limit of 70mph applies. South of Preston Toll Bar junction the central reservation terminates and the A419(T) tapers from dual I to single carriageway. 2.2.3 There are several other major roads in the area all of which are single I carriageway. These include the A435 Cirencester to Cheltenham Road, A429 Cirencester to Stow Road and the A417 London Road which rons from I Cirencester to Fairford. Connections between these roads and the villages and hamlets are provided by numerous, generally narrow, low standard Class 3 and I Class 4 roads. I 2.3 LAND USE 2.3.1 With the exception of the urban areas of Cirencester and Stratton, the land in the I area is generally used for agriculture; this is mainly arable although small areas of pasture do exist. There are three major landholdings in the area: the Abbey I Estate and Baunton Trost which comprises land to the north and east of Cirencester, the Bathurst Estate (including Cirencester Park) which comprises land I to the north and west of Cirenccster and Stratton, and the Duchy of Cornwall comprising land to the north-west of Strallon which is centred around the village I of Daglingworth.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

  • The Roman and the Post-Roman South
    Chapter 2 The Mabinogi of Pwyll The Roman and the Post-Roman South The complex of the Indigenous Underworld, and its association with South Wales, was overlayed by the interaction of geography and history throughout the Roman and Post-Roman periods. Unlike the kingdoms of the North, Dyfed, Ystrad Twyi, Gwent, Brycheiniog, Glywissing and the other Southern Welsh kingdoms did not fall under the sway of the warrior dynasties of Coel Hen and the Votadinii (which are further discussed in Chapter 3) during the fifth and sixth century sub-Roman period. Instead, this part of Wales retained its traditional connections with Ireland on one hand, and the plains of England on the other. These are links which, as we have seen, had deep prehistoric roots, even as far back as the Early Stone Age (see p. 26, n. 34, p. 157 n. 218 above). But even into the historic period, the respective experiences of North and South Wales tended to reinforce rather than submerge their cultural differences, as we will now consider. In the first century AD, following a brief but intense period of resistance during the Claudian conquest, the Silures of what is now the south-eastern corner of Wales submitted wholeheartedly to the Roman yoke. The rich, lowland landscape of this area made it conducive to the Roman way of life. The civitas or tribal district of the Silurian people supported a thriving villa economy – as well as a number of fully-developed urban centres at Nidum (Neath), Isca (Caerleon), Gobannium (Abergevenny) and Venta Silurum (Caerwent). It was this latter location, literally meaning ‘Marketplace (venta) of the Silures’ which was to bequeath its name to the later sub-Roman kingdom of Gwent.

    203 XX. An Account of the Discovery of a Tessellated Pavement, \0th Feb. 1854, under the Vaults of the South-Eastern Area of the late Excise Office; by WILLIAM TITE, Esq. F.R.S., F.S.A., in a Letter to FREDERIC OTJVRY, Esq. Treasurer. Bead 15 June, 1854. 42, Lowndes Square, 17 April, 1854. DEAR SIR, I have the honour to forward for the consideration of the Society of Antiquaries a Drawing of the Tessellated Pavement recently found between Bishopsgate Street and Broad Street, under the vaults of the south-eastern area of the late Excise Office. A small plan which accompanies the drawing (PL XVIII.), will show the exact position of the pavement itself, relatively to the adjoining street and to the buildings of the Excise Office. It is a commonly received opinion, that the late Government edifice occupied the site of the house and premises of Sir Thomas Gresham only; and it may be therefore convenient to explain that subsequently to the purchase by the Government from the trustees of Sir Thomas Gresham of the buildings of Gresham College, in I768,a they bought an inn adjoining southward, called the Sun; and these two premises together constituted the area of the late Excise Office. I cannot exactly define the boundary of the two properties, but I have no doubt that the site of this pavement was under the Sun inn portion of it, and did not form any part of the land purchased of the Gresham trustees. In removing the Excise Offices we began from Threadneedle Street, and in taking up the foundations of the main buildings, nothing of any interest was found; but, as we proceeded towards Bishopsgate Street, it was evident that we were approaching foundations and remains that were of a much earlier con- a " On the 17th March the City Members, attended by Mr.
