The current road links Sackville Road, the A2023, in the east to Boundary Road, the B2194, to the west and is one of four parallel roads that run east-west through the old parish of Aldrington, the others being Kingsway, the A259, New Church Road, the B2066, and Old Shoreham Road, the former A27 now A270, north of the railway. The road was laid out around 1880 and was originally known as Clarendon Villas Road then Bertram Road before acquiring its current name in 1894. By 1898 only the section up to Rutland Gardens/Road had been developed with the rest added piecemeal until completion in the late 1930s by which point much of the road had become the main shopping street for the area. The tower in the distance belongs to St Peter's Roman Catholic church.
