The PAF also has it as Queslett Road.

But here's an interesting thing. None of the properties on that section 
of street are linked to USRN 2708337 in the open UPRN database:

    https://uprn.uk/usrn/2708337

The USRN that 100070487637 is associated with is 2704593:

    https://uprn.uk/100070487637

Which is Queslett Road:

    https://uprn.uk/usrn/2704593

I think that what you've found, therefore, is simply an[other] error in 
the USRN database.
