Coldharbour derives from the Saxon 'cald hereboerg' meaning a temporary army settlement or which developed into the medieval roadside shelter for travellers caught out in the elements. Many of these were located on main thoroughfares and are usually an indication of a nearby Roman road. The route from London to the coast ran near here though the actual route is disputed, some say the road ran through the farm ahead others say it closely followed the course of the current A273 before it ascended Clayton then made its way to the coast possibly at Portslade. The current footpath which follows the drive links New Way Lane with the B2116.
