High Street.

Saffron Walden High Street is part of the B184 which is a long B-road in Essex. It is considerably longer than it was originally by having taken over a sizeable chunk of the A130 when that was downgraded following the building of the M11.

 

The B184 now starts at Stump Cross, also known as M11 J9A, just inside the Essex border with Cambridgeshire and the point where the A11 reappears after a considerable distance playing second fiddle to the M11. The B184 then heads roughly southeast along the ex-A130 into Saffron Walden, where it crosses the B1052, although the classified roads through the one-way system in the town centre could belong to either road!

 

Leaving Saffron Walden, the B184 continues across Essex countryside through Thaxted, where the B184 is definitely the dominant partner in a multiplex with the B1051, and to the edge of Great Dunmow.

 

The Cross Keys Hotel, on the right, dates back some 650 years and is one of the most important buildings architecturally and commercially in the centre of Saffron Walden. This Grade II* listed building was fully restored and renovated in 2012, re-opened on the Diamond Jubilee weekend. Now offering 6 en suite bedrooms in the main period building plus 3 new luxury en suite boutique bedrooms in The Cobblers Barn.
