Road from Eathorpe meets the Fosse Way The B4455 signs have brown parts indicating that it is the historic route of the Fosse Way, but just here the current road seems to make a small diversion around the local big house and park off to the right. The road whose end is just showing at the near right looks a more convincing ancient alignment.
