One of the original avenues laid out in 1920 when the town of Peacehaven was developed. The highway originally ran from Firle Road south to the A259 then beyond to the cliff tops. However, the section between Southview Road and Arundel Road was never built upon and by the 1960s was little more than a dirt track which eventually disappeared when first, Image was developed, and then the Meridian Centre was added in the late 1970s requiring the local council to add the 'North' suffix to avoid people getting lost.
