This cannot be correct for this grid ref as there is no road or houses here.
E. Rose (NAU).

Grid reference in CBA Bulletin is '099 827', presumably for 827 099, but no houses here either.
Information from Ordnance Survey Records (S2).

There is a road further west called Sporle New Road, and at TF 820 999 there is a modern estate called St Guthlacs Close (not to be confused with the field historically known by that name a mile further north!). However the road runs north-to-south and the estate is on the west. It is possible the grid reference was meant to be 821 999, the easting having been read in reverse, and that the compiler meant west rather than north of the road; but this clearly is a long shot.
