If you look on the latest TT Maps at N51.70106 W0.32341 around 100m NE of where the B556 meets the A5183 you will see a circular road named Unnamed Road. It would not be a good idea to drive on this road as it is a circular railway track (for the stoneworks) connected to the East Midlands main line.
Zoom out from here

Nice find  Have you sent a mapshare correction?
Your link to the map does not work for me it just makes my browser lock up.

Works for me in Firefox.
As it is a Microsoft site, it's no wonder I.E. might have problems with it 
Nice mapping find! |

Its more clear if you use google maps, the circular road is more obvious.

If it was not a private site (Lafarge) I would go on to it and drive up to the tracks to see what it told me to do!
The London A-Z has it down as a miniature railway.

Bit cynical but I know what you mean, link worked fine for me on two machines, one with the dreaded Vista/IE7 and another with XP/IE8 |
