Lower shelton Road used to extend from Upper Shelton to Bedford Road Marston at the point known locally in old times as Caulcott.
Construction of the A421 Marston Moretaine bypass is circa 1987 cut the road in two amd the only link directly between the two is a concrete pedestrian underpass. Several houses were left at the Bedford Road end: one detached house on the corner, one semi-detached cottage where the Pates lived, and a red brick detached house that was later painted white. There was a gap where the field was and immediately next to the bypass was a dilapidated bungalow. Opposite the red brick house was a desolate area with a static caravan park. One semi detached house was located between the park and the underpass.
The junction with the A421 was lethal and has in the past been a major accident scene. Recently the road has been closed at that point to enable the bypass to be extended to M1 junction 13. A link road was opened on 27/11/09 between lower Shelton and Beancroft Road. The link road will run parallel to the new east bound carriageway of the A421 when the dual carriageway is completed. The bypass is to be opened in winter 2010.
