Old Shoreham Road
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 14 Jan 2009
One of the longest roads in the Brighton-Hove-Adur conurbation, stretching from the junction with New England Road in TQ3005 before ending at Kingston crossroads in TQ2306. The road itself is very ancient, following on or very near a Roman Road that once linked the Downland areas around Brighton with Chichester. Until this century much of it passed through open fields, with most of the land north of the road only being built on in the postwar years. For a long time this was the A27 until the building of the Brighton by-pass in the 1990s meant a redesignation to the A270.
