The western grid line of the square follows very closely the line of the old Fosse Way just here. The blue car is located approximately where the Roman road used to run across the middle of the image. The Fosse Way at this point was obliterated when this new dual carriageway was built as the town's bypass. The bridge in the distance, the A429, now carries the Fosse Way traffic across the new road.
