Old Street Row byway

A byway and unadopted road between Hailey Lane and Old Street (a byway). The byway curves through the woodland of Old Street Row rather than following Old Street at this point, though ahead it rejoins Old Street.

Old Street

Bizarrely, this stretch of Old Street / Old Street Lane is private property. The byway which follows the rest of the track curves off to the left through the woodland (Old Street Row).

Byway towards bridleway

The byway reaches an abrupt dead end ahead, as it ends at the start of the field and becomes a bridleway that leads to Catmore Road.

Old Street byway and bridleway signpost

A very short signpost showing the route of a byway and a bridleway: the byway is Old Street. The bridleway sign should read byway, as the track is a byway for a very small distance, and then becomes a bridleway. Logic prevails, however, and the sign is sensible.
