Until the early 1990s this was the main A27 trunk road as it left Stone Cross and headed towards Westham. Since the building of the Pevensey by-pass it has been reduced to a minor road mainly providing access to the western side of Westham. Local legend has it that the name of the road derives from the rattling of the chains when bodies on a nearby gibbet would blow in the wind.
