Until the late 1960s this was a footpath, with a gated crossing over the railway track. It became a road, with a bridge carrying the railway above, then later the A45 road (now A14) was built alongside the line. On the left the old Vinten canteen building is now leased by an aerospace camera maintenance company. Before the mini-roundabout to Western Way was added on the left, this corner was a regular scene of accidents as an optical illusion gave the impression the road went straight on.
