I can now reveal to a breathless world my part in creating the slight kink in this road. I owned the white painted bungalow on the right during the late 60's early 70's and initially the road was unadopted, gravel and full of large puddles. The council called a meeting announcing that they would adopt the road and tarmac it but everyone would lose a bit of front garden in the process. In their original plan properties on the right of the picture would have ended up with virtually no front garden at all, so after consultations with neighbours and the council we all agreed on the present, more equitable, sweep to the left.
