'Adelaide Road' on the street nameplate identifies the shortest of spurs of Adelaide Road south of the junction. It continues left as Station Approach Image It would be speculating to suggest that Adelaide Road formalised a route that had developed south of the river in the 1830s as the New Town grew and that it led to the Old Warwick Road, especially after the opening of Adelaide Bridge across the Leam. It would have been severed by the LNWR railway around the same time, 1850. The western end of the access to the Avenue Road station, that became Station Approach, began here. But this is all speculation.
