Viewed from the junction with Ryecroft Road the house is the former Queen's Head Inn which was the original staging post when the London-Brighton turnpike was built, Image to the north has only been a pub since the 1960s and was a former farm. The inn still served travellers down the A23 over the years and was a popular vantage point for the annual London-Brighton veteran car run. In the early 1990s the A23 was rerouted to the east and the old route became a backwater and the pub eventually closed in 2000 and has now been converted into a private dwelling.
