The A270 viewed from Preston Circus. Named after a former farm located on the western side of the railway it also formed the ancient parish boundary between Brighton and Preston until the latter was absorbed into the borough in 1928. By that time the road was the main A27 which it would remain until 1991 when the Brighton Bypass was opened. The building on the left containing Lloyds Bank was built in the early 1930s whilst beyond is Vantage Point added in the 1960s.
