Roman Road in Stourbridge, Dudley
Roman Road in Stourbridge, Dudley
Looking north from near Sugar Loaf Lane, this sandy track is also known as Sandy Lane.
The route is not actually Roman in origin. It was constructed in the 18th century as part of a turnpike (toll) road linking Kidderminster and Dudley. (information - K. James, BSc).
The course of a former Roman Road between Droitwich and Greensforge passes very close by across the fields off to the left (west).
