The road is ancient predating all building either side and is believed to follow an old Roman route that ran westwards to a crossing of the River Adur at Old Shoreham. Much of the housing in view was developed during the 1930s as Hove began extending northwards whilst the road itself had become the A27 which it remained until the opening of the bypass between 1991-95 after which it bcame the A270.
