Below is a map I am trying to create without a proprer graphics program.. matching the Saxon street names to the map of Winchester in King Alfred's time.
I will keep you posted as I identify various streets and buildings and make a more readable map. In the meantime, ifyou can add to or correct my map please let me know!

If you can find a somewhat later map of medieval Winchester, you might be able to reconstruct the streets of earlier times. I doubt if they would have been all that much different, at least at the core of the town, though no doubt streets or sections were added as the population grew.
