The B2193 viewed from the junction with Mountfield Road and Station Road. The street dates from around the 1830s though the actual highway is of a far greater antiquity being dated back to Roman times being part of a route that forded the Ouse near Southerham then ran along the modern day Mountfield Road, Priory Street, Southover High Street and Juggs Road before continuing westwards to Kingston then Brighton. For many centuries the road itself up to the junction with Southover High Street was known as Ham Lane before this section was renamed in the 1830s and that heading eastwards was renamed Mountfield Road in 1932.
