Doubtless at some time Sheldon Avenue had a junction here with Archway Road (A1) and North Hill to the right and Aylmer Road (A1) and Great North Road (A1000) to the left. Safety, as well as preventing Sheldon Avenue being used as a rat-run presumably led to the solution of this stretch at the far north end of Sheldon Avenue being grassed over, turning it into a cul-de-sac.
