A1010 road

The route is featured in William Cowper's 1782 comic ballad The Diverting History of John Gilpin, which describes the chaotic progress of the hero along the road from London to Ware and back, failing twice to stop his borrowed horse at his intended destination, the Bell in Edmonton.

At Waltham Cross the old route is the pedestrianised High Street, which the designated A1010 by-passes, terminating at the A121.
