A1 (Britain)

The A1 is a British road that joins London to Edinburgh.

The original A1 route was designated by the Ministry of Transport in 1921, following the medieval Great North Road from Central London through Barnet, Potters Bar[?], Hatfield, Welwyn[?], Stevenage[?], Baldock[?], Biggleswade[?], Sandy, St Neots[?] and Alconbury[?], then joining the route of a Roman road, Ermine Street, as far as Colsterworth[?]. The route was modified in 1927 when bypasses were built around Barnet and Hatfield.
