Cross Guns Road south of Thorney Toll

This road which starts at Thorney Toll on the A47 trunk road and finishes on the north bank of the River Nene appears to be un-named. I can't find any names on new or old maps and no name sign on Google Street View. It runs on the edge of New Wryde Drain. I have subsequently found a couple of business addresses which lead me to believe it is Cross Guns Road. Also on an old map there is a public house called The Cross Guns at the southern end of the road near the bank of the River Nene and the Nene Washes, a well known wildfowling area. There is also a pumping station called Cross Guns which was named after the pub. Update 25.01.13 - I took this up with Ordnance Survey and the road name now appears on their maps but not all derivatives yet.
