The road junction at Atley Hill was originally the opposite to what it is now. The road from Streatlam to Cowtons was the main road and the Scorton road was the side road. Around 1930 the road seems to have been realigned to give a smoother corner and to make the Streatlam road the side one. The other end of the realignment can be seen at the top of the grid square.
