The name of the A22 between the junction with Nash Street and the Boship Roundabout which derives from its original route through Dicker Common which was enclosed in 1815. That enclosure resulted in the straightening of the road and the straggling nature of the residences and businesses which lay either side of it. The house on the left is Northfields with Image beyond it and Mill Cottage further on.
