The original alignment of Cow Close Road north-west from this point has disappeared under housing, but the road abuts the later alignment of Whincover Bank (part of a mid-20th century housing estate) with a slight dog-leg. Motor vehicles can't get through from one housing area to the other, perhaps to stop traffic from the ring road using it as a rat-run. Note the unofficial timber ramp, probably placed by local skateboarders.
