There is a barrier here. This is not a public road. Commercial Yard runs NE from the High Street, but then it stops.  The section shown here continuing SE towards Whincup Close & Whincup Avenue is actually the forecourts of two local businesses (a printer's and a joiner's).  At the corner where Whincup Avenue and Whincup Close meet this area, there is clear signage saying "Private" and "No Through Road". Additionally, Commercial Yard bears several signs along its length saying "Private" and "No Through Road", as well as an official No Through Road sign.
If you use Google Street View to "look" from the end of Commercial Yard, you can clearly see the obstacle - it is a yellow metal barrier.
Hope this helps (I live locally)
