When the council built this housing in the 1960's, they also dualled this section of Willenhall Lane, as it was at that time the main route around the eastern edge of the city. It was proposed that this might become part of an outer ring road, a plan which the city had been progressing slowly since the 1930's. However when the A46 Eastern Bypass was eventually opened in 1989, it took a route further to the east. The section of road in Willenhall Lane has never been used as anything but a service road. The traffic on the main part of Willenhall Lane can just be seen on the left.
