As part of the British Horse Society's work to record paths before Path Extinguishment Day, it was spotted that Jersey Lane had not been recorded. The historical evidence showed a continuous route as an old road, so an application was made in 2017 to record the route.

Map St Albans Rural 11. 20 Jun 1953: Part of the route was proposed as Sandridge 4 CRB (Carriage Road used as a Bridleway) on the original draft map and statement. The rest was not shown.
