Many of the roads on the Dengie peninsula follow the ancient grid of the field boundaries, which meant that a diagonal trend across them was a series of right-angled corners. On this road the sharp corners have been replaced with more sweeping bends, probably dating from when access was improved to build Bradwell power station. Here the old road goes straight on to abruptly turn right. It is a pity that they didn't go the whole hog and straighten out the whole road.
