Some of the earliest housing built by the Development Corporation for its own workforce is located in this area.

The village also contains older council housing built before the designation of the city, mostly now in private ownership.

Original country road diverted under grid

The road from Bletchley to Newport Pagnell has been diverted under the grid, with links to the H road above.

At this point the footpath to the left of the road forms the Redway.

Canal traditions have influenced the naming of streets alongside the next stretch.
