The longest of the north-south avenues in Peacehaven and the first to be made up. The straight road originally stretched from the cliff top to Valley Road and was later extended further to The Lookout and was the major access route to the north of the town. However, during the 1970s, the section between Arundel Road and Balcombe Road was largely removed to construct the Meridian Centre with the remnant turned into a delivery access road that was later renamed Roderick Way. Driving its entire length is also now impossible, there is no longer any access from the A259 whilst this section now ends at the junction with Glynn Road, a barrier prevents any further move southwards.
