Carr Lane, once cobbled, is now little more than a pathway running alongside a housing estate but it is an ancient road, part of the original "cross" configuration. During Medieval times Roby was a small agricultural village, clustered around this crossroad of what is today Station Road, Roby Road and Carr Lane. In the centre was a stone cross and a medieval market was held in its vicinity. The original cross and boundary stone, although moved, are located on the green at the top of Station Road.
