Interesting question: since Northcote Road was built over the Falcon Brook / York Sewer, why does it not go straight through from e.g. Nightingale Lane to Battersea Rise. The road then continues, still over the Falcon Brook, along St John's Road to Falcon Road etc.
Similarly, why doesn't Oldridge Road go straight through to Calbourne Road, with which it exactly aligns. Why is it interrupted, albeit briefly?
