This is the view looking west from the footbridge that connects Leggatts Way and the present-day Leggatts Rise. When it was first built this section of the current A41 was the A500, and was also known then as Leggatts Rise. The slip road on the left leads up to the elevated roundabout junction with the A405 North Orbital Road. The 1939 large scale OS map shows that when these two roads were first built, the A405 Kingsway North Orbital Road, as it then was, formed a T-junction with the A500.
