The road owes its existence to the enclosure of the Clayton part of the former St John's Common in 1857. It ran from London Road next to the Royal George public house, whence it took its name, to West Street. Originally built to serve the newly enclosed fields it was gradually developed from the late 19th century onwards, initially from the east though not completed until the 1970s where its junction formed the western edge of the town, until that was extended from the 1990s onwards. The junction with Weald Road is on the right beyond which, out of shot, is the Weald public house.
