Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 25 Oct 2009
Residential road linking Dyke Road to Goldstone Crescent. As the name suggests the route is much older being the east-west droving route through the village of Preston to West Blatchington and the downland beyond. Still a country track in 1912 it began to be developed once the former downland was acquired by Hove corporation from Preston Rural District Council in 1928. This section looks westwards from the crossroads with Shirley Drive.
