Until the early 13th century it was necessary to cross the creek at Ford Cross, where North and South Ford Lanes met. At the beginning of the 13th century an earth dam was constructed to the east between Hardness on the north bank and Spithead on the south bank, and a path was made on the top of the dam which later became Foss Street.
