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
