Formerly the A27 it has been the A270 since the construction of the Brighton by-pass in the early 1990s. This is the approach to the traffic system known as the Vogue Gyratory which links Lewes Road and Upper Lewes Road with two other minor but busy routes, Hollingdean Road and Bear Road. It is one of the most confusing road junctions in Brighton. Until 1976 the view would also have taken in Lewes Road viaduct which carried the Kemp Town branch over this road between 1869-1971 when the line was closed. The orange building on the right marks the spot where it crossed.
