St Michaels Street - St Michaels Street once formed part of one of the busiest roads in England, the London, Chester, Holyhead road.

By the ninth century the Roman Watling Street had been diverted from its course through Verulamium to pass around St Albans Abbey, effectively creating the road from the town to St Michaels, George Street, Fishpool Street and St Michaels Street.

It was estimated in 1815 that 70 mail and stage coaches coaches passed daily through St Albans and that these along with travellers on foot accounted for over one thousand people passing through the town each day. Most of these would have travelled on this road.

St Michaels Bridge, over the River Ver, is now the oldest extant bridge in Hertfordshire.
