Colchester Road
Roman road from London to Colchester, turnpiked in 1726 for the Middlesex and Essex Trust.
Tollhouse for the turnpike stood near the western end of the modern Brentwood bypass.
Putwell Bridge. Built c. 1582. In the 18th century it was taken over by the Middlesex and Essex turnpike trust and was listed in 1857 as a county bridge, substantially built of brick on one segmental arch. A number of streams converge here on the Weald Brook as the main road crosses it.
Brook Street Interchange. This was first built in the 1970's as part of the Brentwood Bypass and the  old road renumbered A1023. In 1983 the M25 was built above the interchange.
