Up until the early 1990s this was the A27 until the Pevensey By-Pass was built effectively relegating this road to a backwater used primarily for access to Stone Cross and Westham. The houses catching the late evening sun on the left are Woodville and Holly Cottage respectively. A local story explains that the name of the road was due to a nearby gallows in Westham where the unfortunate occupants' chains would rattle in the wind.
