The road has been blocked off to prevent it becoming a rat run for those avoiding the traffic lights at the A2023 and A270 junction. Orchard Road is the northern boundary of a small estate that was built in the 1920s on the site of a former apple orchard, a few trees did survive in the back gardens of the new houses. Hove Park is beyond the turn in the road.
