I do think the first incarnation extended from John and that they later re-routed it to link up with the Jolley Cut but I'll have to confirm that with an expert.

From what I remember about my Hamilton history that road never went directly down to John St. It turned back to John just like in the picture. From the historical maps that I have been looking at as early as 1875 the road always showed a cut back along Arkledun. It was a toll road at one time and the toll house is still there.
