Looking north from near the junction with The Broadway. The route is not actually Roman in origin. It was constructed in the 18th century as part of a turnpike (toll) road linking Kidderminster and Dudley (information - K. James, BSc). The course of a former Roman Road between Droitwich and Greensforge is just a few metres off to the left, on a slightly different bearing.
