Chapel Lane originally ran from the Bell Inn in Bredhurst to Hempstead Village. It was originally bisected by the construction of the M2 motorway in the early 1960s and then again by the construction of Hempstead Valley Drive in the late 1970s. This northern section connects Hempstead Valley Drive and Hempstead Road and contains suburban housing built in the early 1980s.
