Until comparatively recently, there was no way through on Verulam Road between Bankfield Lane and Balmoral Drive as the road was blocked off by the Southport to Crossens and Preston railway (closed 1964). On the far side of the road there is a narrow strip of unoccupied land on the course of the trackbed, sandwiched between the backs of the houses on Balmoral Drive (to the left) and Merlewood Avenue.
