In the late 19th century Jetty Marsh Lane led from the town to Jetty Marsh Quay. By 1936 it had become Jetty Marsh Road. Around 1990 Jetty Marsh Road was widened and a roundabout built at the junction with Kingsteignton Road and Newton Road. This short stretch was bypassed. The stone building houses a home removals and storage company: Armstrong's. The building on the right is part of the premises of F Christophers and Son, independent funeral directors. This immediate area is shown on several old maps as King's Mews.
