Crank Lane is now a public footpath, but is shown as a bridle road on first edition OS maps. Long ago it linked with Leeming Lane, the old Great North Road which is now a three lane motorway. Some current OS maps show the lane terminating at the edge of the motorway, but there is now an alternative to left or right along a recently created bridleway that runs parallel to the A1(M).
