For nine years, Simon and Jo Bryant lived on Fishpool Street in the cathedral city of St. Albans, just 20 miles from London. History is everywhere in their town, from the Roman ruins in the park, to a pub called Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, which claims to be one of England’s oldest. Their street was no different—it’s estimated to be about 900 years old, and that’s what they loved about it.
