As noted in the picture showing the view west from this same point Image, this private road has no displayed name. Note that this eastern half has a tarmac surface, unlike the western part. The road runs parallel to Newmarket Road, just separated by a hedge and small bank. Over the trees at the end we can see the turret on top of the garage on the corner. In the 1930s this functioned not only for cars but also for refuelling aircraft on the airfield established just west of here. To my surprise the clock on the turret was showing the correct time, which it has not done for years.
