Dry Street runs from Nethermayne to High Road, Langdon Hills.  For most of its length it is a reminder of how the area looked long before the New Town.

​

Dry Street Farmhouse dates from around 1720, ‘Thatched Cottage’ and Rose Cottage were probably built in the 1700’s using wattle and daub.  All three are Grade II listed buildings. 

 

The Red Cow was built along Dry Street in 1802.  It also acted as a Post Office and is now a private residence.

​

At the High Road end of Dry Street is the Nature Reserve car park.  Near this is the former site of POW Camp 266 Langdon Hills.  A concrete base of one of the buildings is still in place.

 

A survey carried out in the area in 2006 found evidence of Roman and Saxon activity.
