Located at the junction of Twineham Lane and Reeds Lane the area in front of the road sign was once the site of a tollhouse called High Cross Gate that charged road users for travel along the latter to the main London-Brighton turnpike which later became the A23. The tollhouse was marked on the 1874 OS map but the road was disturnpiked in 1876 and disappeared soon after. The OS map also has a small circular pond in front of the old building roughly where the dark triangular patch in the road is.
