Originally an old drove road that linked Patcham village with Ditchling Road at Old Boat Corner. During the 19th century it picked up its current name when it became part of a circular horse riding route that also took in London Road, Ditchling Road and Surrenden Road. The road became residential during the 1930s when a number of the bungalows in view were built. A gritting lorry can be seen further down the road.
