These houses on Hurn Road were presumably originally constructed to accommodate railway employees. They are located next to Marholm Crossing, a former level crossing spanning the East Coast Main Line (ECML) and the Peterborough to Leicester line. The crossing was closed to motor traffic in the early 1990s, effectively dividing Hurn Road into two sections, and is now only accessible to pedestrians and cyclists via a footbridge. The former crossing keeper's cottage was demolished in May 2018 and was replaced by a bungalow.
