Staggered crossroads with A37 at Old Down
The staggered crossroads is the result of a major realignment of the roads. Formerly the B3139, crossing the A37 here, was straight, and the A37 met the minor road in a staggered crossroads (turn left, then right). The former route can be followed in the hedges, with a house built where the A37 formerly ran south of the crossroads

2009 : Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway (dismantled)
Now you railway lovers, prepare to shed a tear for all that remains of the Slow and Dirty as it was affectionately called.
Running from Bath Green Park it went south through Midford, Wellow, Radstock, Midsomer Norton, such wonderful names, passing here before continuing to Shepton Mallet eventually arriving at Weymouth.
Rails and trackbed have long gone from this short stretch but it remains fenced off to allay its spirit.
