At the time it was built it did not extend as far south as the location of this waymark.

The southern side of this junction is a former warehouse converted to office space with an upmarket cafe called Philpotts on the ground floor.

The other side of the junction has a modern building housing a Premier Inn hotel and a casino. This building has a plaque on the side with information about the land upon which the hotel is located.
