The road was laid out in 1920 as a northern continuation of Grand Avenue and The Drive giving a dead straight route from the sea to a point just north of the crossroads with Hove Park Road where it starts to curve to follow the contours of the former downland it was built on. The road was developed piecemeal afterwards starting in the 1920s and finally finishing in the late 1950s and is one of Hove's main artery routes northwards out of town which can be quite busy though not at sunrise on a Sunday. Hove Recreation Ground is beyond the hedge to the right.
