The former A27 until the completion of the Brighton Bypass in 1991 it is now the A270. Between Hove Cemetery in the east and the junctions with Boundary Road/Carlton Terrace and Hangleton Road in the west the road provides the dividing line between the Knoll Estate to the north and Hallyburton Estate to the south, both developed from the 1920s onwards having once been part of the parish of Aldrington. The road was made a dual carriageway in the mid 1970s necessitating demolition of houses on the northern side of the road and curtailment of gardens on the southern side.

Route of the old railway line to Devils Dyke curving behind houses in Rowan Avenue.

Heading south east to join another that links Old Shoreham Road to Rowan Avenue that runs through the northern part of Hove Cemetery. The footpath here follows the trackbed of the former Dyke Railway that was opened in 1887 as an excursion route for tourists wishing to visit Devil's Dyke. The branch left the main west coast line at Aldrington (Originally known as Dyke Junction Halt) curving to the north, then west, then north again as it crossed open downland to a terminus situated next to Dyke Farm that was half a mile from the Dyke and required a walk up a steep gradient that was 200 foot below the summit. Two intermediate halts were added, the first in 1891 to serve Brighton & Hove Golf Club, called Golf Club Halt, and the other in 1933 to serve the newly built estates to the north which was called Rowan Halt. By then, however, the line was fast losing money to the motorbus trade which was able to drop visitors off right next to the Dyke and the line was closed on New Year's Eve 1938. The branch's alignment can be made out clearly north of the bypass but has largely been filled in to the south.
