The B1145 runs for about through the county of Norfolk, England, between King's Lynn and Mundesley. The road is an alternative route to the A47 between King's Lynn and Norwich by way of the A1067 from Bawdeswell onwards. History This ancient route predates the Norman Conquest and remained the main east–west route through the county until the 17th century. It can be seen quite clearly on William Faden's map of Norfolk, which was surveyed between 1790 and 1794. This map, the first large-scale map (at one inch to the mile) of the whole county, is a record of the landscape and transport system of the county of Norfolk in late 18th century and shows that despite the parliamentary enclosure of the early 19th century the route has changed very little. Much of the route on the map is highlighted in a pale pink, which marks it out as an important artery of the time. Part of the roads route lies directly on the line of a Roman road between a point west of North Elmham for the dist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
