One of four east-west roads that run parallel to each other through the old parish of Aldrington, the others being Kingsway (A259), New Church Road (B2066) and Old Shoreham Road (A270). The road was laid out in the 1870s and developed gradually over the next forty or so years.

Originally an open field called South Gores, according to Aldrington's 1840 tithe map, that had become allotments by the time of the 1898 OS map and remained so until 1921 when the section adjacent to Olive road was acquired by the Brighton Equitable Co-Operative Society who initially built a bakery fronting onto Portland Road and later included buildings erected for their grocery, dairy and laundry departments. The site was vacated in the mid 1990s and the current trading estate built soon after. See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume16/source/jg_16_054.html
