The ground takes its name from a section of the A207 road in Welling, immediately adjacent to Danson Park.

[1] It suffered damage from passing German bombers en route to bomb London in 1940 during World War II.

Crowds continued to rise in the 1960s and so the main stand was enlarged, and covered terracing was increased.

[1] In 1977, Welling United (that had been playing in nearby Eltham) secured a 15-year lease of the ground.

The club sold their old site in 2001 and financed the development of the far side of the ground, where their headquarters are now maintained.
