The Great North Road was the main highway between England and Scotland from medieval times until the 20th century. It became a coaching route used by mail coaches travelling between London, York and Edinburgh. The modern A1 mainly parallels the route of the Great North Road. Coaching inns, many of which survive, were staging posts providing accommodation, stabling for horses and replacement mounts. Nowadays virtually no surviving coaching inns can be seen while driving on the A1, because the modern route bypasses the towns in which the inns are found.

  • La grande route du Nord était la route principale qui reliait Londres à l'Écosse. Elle est devenue une voie utilisée par les mail coaches de la poste entre Londres, York et Édimbourg. L'actuelle route A1 suit pour l'essentiel un tracé parallèle à la grande route du Nord. Des auberges servant de relais de poste, dont beaucoup ont subsisté, fournissaient logement et montures de rechange, ainsi que des écuries pour les chevaux. De nos jours, on ne peut pratiquement plus voir une seule de ces auberges lorsqu'on roule sur la A1, car la route moderne évite les villes où se trouvaient les auberges. (fr)
  • Великая северная дорога — главный транспортный путь, соединявший Англию с Шотландией со Средневековья до XX века. По мере развития транспорта дорога стала использоваться дилижансами, курсирующими между Лондоном, Йорком и Эдинбургом. Современная автодорога A1 в основном проходит параллельно маршруту Великой северной дороги. Постоялые дворы, многие из которых сохранились, были перевалочными пунктами, предоставлявшими жилье, конюшню для лошадей и запасных скакунов. В настоящее время увидеть уцелевшие постоялые дворы при движении по автомагистрали A1 практически невозможно, так как современный маршрут проходит в обход городов. (ru)
  • Die Great North Road (deutsch Große Nordstraße) ist eine historische, heute nicht mehr als solche bestehende Fernstraße in Großbritannien. Sie war für lange Zeit die wichtigste Straßenverbindung zwischen London und Schottland, auf der zahlreiche Postkutschen zwischen London, York und Edinburgh verkehrten. Heute folgt die Fernstraße A1 in großen Teilen demselben Verlauf, ist jedoch als ortsumgehende Schnellstraße ausgebaut, teilweise sogar als Autobahn, und vermeidet Ortsdurchfahrten. Gelegentlich wird auch – etwas unscharf – die heutige A1 als Great North Road bezeichnet. (de)
