Mortimer Road

Mortimer Road was built in the 1970s or so to connect Lancing Road and Homefield Rise, replacing a house at this point in Lancing Road. At some point later it was blocked off (see Image), presumably because it was being used as a rat run to bypass the High Street. In 2010, it turned full circle, with a house built on the site (seen on the left of this photo). Despite its status at the Lancing Road end only as a footpath, it still retains its street sign, as seen here.
