This section of the lane was demoted to a footpath during the development of Crawley New Town. The lane, formerly connecting to Balcombe Road ahead, was diverted to connect to Worth Road. Much earlier, before the building of the section of Balcombe Road here in the early 19th century, the route continued further on straight ahead down what is now Green Lane (partly a footpath now) to connect to Church Lane, then the main road.
