Looking westwards from its junction with the Vogue Gyratory, the road links the A270 with Ditchling Road. Originally known as Dog Kennel Road in the early 19th century and ran in a straight line along what is now Image and Florence Place. Towards the end of the 19th century The area immediately north of the former was developed as a corporation depot and a new route, Upper Hollingdean Road was built to go round it. The building on the immediate right is a former electricity sub station built in 1924.
