Just over a century ago this was a farm track that served Goldstone Farm and Goldstone House. The farm was given up in the 1920s and the land sold for development. By then the Goldstone Ground had been constructed which was home to Brighton & Hove Albion until 1997 when a carpetbagging chairman sold the ground for personal gain. The site is now occupied by the retail warehouses in the distance. The houses on the right were built in the 1970s on the site of an old agricultural labourers cottage which had stood within the grounds of Goldstone House. The lane now connects Newtown Road with Old Shoreham Road, the A270.
