History
Service stations at the site were first proposed in 1972. On a planning application that was superseded by the final application the service stations were to be named Titsey Wood after the forest that surrounds the site. The stations opened in 1993.
During construction of the sites artifacts from Roman Britain were found, specifically from a disused Roman road and are now displayed at the service station.[6]
