Some maps (including the 1:50,000 tile used on Geograph at the date of submission) still show a short loop running off Sevenoaks Road to the foot of Charmwood Lane - the 1948 and older 1 inch maps show the loop as the course of the main road, the current main road bypassing the loop being a subsequent development. However, other than a few patches of tarmac showing through the grass and shrub, there is now nothing to show for the western part of the loop, seen here on the right of the photo (the current road is visible on the left). The eastern stretch of the loop has now been incorporated in Charmwood Lane.
