Ermine Street was the Anglo-Saxon name of a road in England that ran from London to Lincoln (Lindum) and York (Eboracum). It was named for a group called the Earningas, who inhabited an area that is now in Cambridgeshire. It is now sometimes called the Old North Road. It followed the route of an earlier, longer Roman road, begun in 43 AD, that ran from Chichester Noviomagus to York.
