As part of the British Horse Society's work to record paths before Path Extinguishment Day, it was spotted that this route was unrecorded. It had been accepted as a Main Road in 1926, but had dropped off the official record since then, and so was in danger of being extinguished. Several other paths end on this lane. An application was made in 2021 to record the old Main Road route.

Legal History 8 Nov 1926: The Rural District of Hitchin (Main Roads) (No 2) Order 1926 (confirmed 2 May 1927) recorded the route as a Main Road, maintainable by the County Council. 1938: The route is shown as an unclassified road on the Hertfordshire County Council ROW survey.
