One of the old London-Brighton roads which went via Ditchling Beacon, Lindfield and Godstone and one of the longest named, beginning on The Level, TQ 30 06, then beyond the city boundaries to Ditchling Beacon, TQ 32 16. Fiveways is the name of the junction and is often used locally for the surrounding district located at a point where Preston ends and Hollingdean, which lies in a valley to the east, begins. The junction consists of Ditchling Road that runs from south to north, Preston Drove heading west to Preston village and the A23, Stanford Avenue heading south west also to the A23, and Hollingbury Road that heads east then south to Hollingdean Road. Prior to the 1880s the junction just consisted of a track to Preston.
