This section of the A272 runs in a virtual straight line from the junction with the A275 north to East Grinstead and the western edge of the village of Newick. This section of the road was built in the 1770s as a turnpike to replace the old east-west route which meandered across Red House Common to the north of the windmill then eventually joined modern day Jackies Lane and headed off to Fletching then Maresfield. As the name suggests from the 1880s to 1958 it was also the route to Chailey & Newick station which lay halfway between the two.
