The name of the A259 as it travels through the parish of Southwick. The road first came into existence during the 1780s as an alternative to the older Old Shoreham Road, the current A270, and was turnpiked in 1822. Originally the major commercial hub of the town many of the shops and terraced houses disappeared from the street in the late 1950s when Southwick Square was built north of the railway line. The road is now lifeless containing warehouses on one side and featureless flats built back from the road on the other.
