The current route was built in 1963 to replace the older route that ran down Claremont Road and along Marine Parade. The latter route had to travel over a railway bridge with a weight restriction and then under another with a width restriction whilst negotiating the seasonal flooding along Marine Parade. The current route crosses a former tidal inlet via an embankment before descending Hawth Hill in a cutting. The houses on the left are in Kingsway.
