Running between Southwick Street and The Green, Southwick's main shopping street was purpose built in 1962 as part of a major regeneration scheme replacing the old shopping area which ran along Albion Street, the A259. The consequence was to move the centre of Southwick away from the seafront where it had shifted from the mid 19th century back to the medieval centre which lay surrounding The Green, the old village common. The 'square' itself is at the eastern end before narrowing to a conventional street as it heads west.
