Chesterton Road (part of the A1303) is a road in the north of Cambridge, England.[1][2]

In October 2000, archaeologists excavating a sewerage shaft at the corner of Chesterton Lane[clarification needed] and Magdalene Street discovered a collection of 13th- and 14th-century coins lying in the remains of a disintegrated wooden box on the site of what was once a house. The hoard contained 1,805 silver pennies and nine gold coins.[3]
