Looking towards the junction with Warren Road. The road was built in the 1930s as an access route to the new estates at Whitehawk and Woodingdean. It begins at Roedean Road to the south then steeply climbs Race Hill. At this point it is crossed by Brighton Racecourse which necessitates the closure of the road during meetings when a layer of turf is placed over the tarmac. See also Image
