Shobnall Road, Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire

There are three main roads into Burton.

If you are coming on a minor road I assume that you know where you are!

Leave A38 in the direction of Burton. This junction has just been altered. The road from the A38 roundabout is now a dual carriageway, the A5121.

Keep on the A5121, take third exit at next roundabout, you should then bend left onto a straight bit and see the Marmite factory on your left. At the next roundabout go left on the B5017, which is Shobnall Road. Then follow Common Bit below.

Leave A38 in the direction of Burton. You are on the other end of the A5121. Go straight across at the first roundabout. The next roundabout is where the A511 crosses the A5121, go straight across on the A5121. Go straight on at the traffic lights and then get into the righthand lane for the next lights. Once through them get into the lefthand lane in order to turn left at the next lights, still on the A5121. If you find yourself going past the Railway Station turn round. At the next roundabout turn right onto the B5017, Shobnall Road. Then follow Common Bit below.

Since this crosses the A5121, the simplest route is to follow the relevant bit of A38 North above.

If coming from the North or West, this is the first roundabout you come to in Burton, turn right on the A5121.

If from the South or East, you will cross the Trent on the old bridge. Once over the bridge carry straight on through all the traffic lights until you meet the roundabout on the A5121, where you turn left.

OR immediately before the old bridge turn left at the traffic lights onto the A444, which brings you to the roundabout at  the end of the new bridge. Turn right over the bridge and follow A444 below.

This brings you into Burton at the roundabout at the end of the new bridge. Go across the bridge on the A5189 (but I have never seen this number on a sign!), take the centre lane, (just past Tesco on your left), to go straight across at the roundabout at the other end.  Then get into the lefthand lane in order to turn left at the next roundabout (ASDA), still on the A5189. Go straight through the traffic lights, straight over at the next roundabout, over the railway to a roundabout on the A5121. Go straight over onto the B5017, which is Shobnall Road, then follow Common Bit below.

Very shortly after the A5121 roundabout is another roundabout, take the left lane round to the third exit which is still Shobnall Road (effectively straight on). Go past the Marina on your left, then Marstons Brewery main entrance, also on your left. The Club is the next entrance on the left. It is in a line of railings and is not too easy to spot. It is opposite a road called Price Court. If you go under the A38 turn round!

We do put a sign on the entrance railings for the Jazz Club, but it is not too visible.
