Any chance it predates the railway, and is related to the ancient road
layout? I don't know the history of the area, and can't find the area on a
suitably old map.

www.old-maps.co.uk has a map from 1874, apparently just when the area
was being built up. The railway's there but everything else is fields.

I remember when it was all fields!
