Until the mid 1970s this was the main A27. Once the Lewes by-pass and the Cuilfail Tunnel were built the old route through Southerham returned to either quite backwater lanes or were abandoned. For a while it was used as a permitted site for travellers for which bins and taps are still extant, however, the entrance on the A27 has now been completely blocked off.
