   Why is it called Chester-le-Street?

   • It is the ‘street’ of Chester-le-Street’s name, as the term ‘street’ ultimately derives from ‘via-strata’ or ‘paved way’ and was often a name given to former Roman roads by the later Anglo-Saxons. Chester-le-Street’s Roman fort was built on a naturally raised piece of land between the River Wear to the east and Cong Burn to the north.
