This road may well be 220 yards long although it's a bit difficult to tell where it ends. It stands at the approximate location of the private Puma Road, which ran east-west across the old Armstrong-Siddeley factory site. A new road, Puma Way is a little further north. The roads in this housing development follow a weights and measures theme and the namer-of-roads has come up with the combination name of Perchfoot Close on the right. One perch, rod or pole = 5.5 yards. 1 foot = 12 inches.
