Looking north from near the junction with The Broadway. The track to the left leads to High Lodge Farm and Abele View Care Home (formerly High Lodge). The route is also called Sandy Lane, and 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 about forty metres off to the left, on a slightly different bearing.
