As the name suggests this highway once ran through Berwick Common which was largely enclosed during the 1820s. It currently provides a convenient short cut for those wanting to access the C39 via the A27 without having to travel along the latter to the Drusilla's roundabout. The road itself was for a brief period the main east-west route between Lewes and Eastbourne until it was replaced in 1820 by a more direct route that is now the A27. Viewed from the junction with Station Road.
