The Canterbury Roman Theatre

The Roman road Watling Street went from Dover through Canterbury to London (and then on to St Albans and Wroxeter). The London to Dover section more or less follows the A2 although in Canterbury itself the High Street that was the old coaching A2 (the route that Geoffrey Chaucer's pilgrims would have taken) is slightly to the north of Watling Street.

The Three Tuns pub is on Watling Street (a section still bearing that name) in Canterbury. It is built on the site of the old Roman Theatre as this sign shows:
