 After Fernhurst, the road continues downhill to Cooksbridge, where the road was widened in 1962 and an old bridge dated 1774 removed.It then crosses Henley Common; the road formerly passed through the hamlet of Henley up a narrow, steep lane, which was bypassed by an easier route in 1825.After passing a lane leading to the former Edward VII Hospital the road drops steeply once again until it reaches Easebourne, passing the former Bugdenor Lodge workhouse and joining the A272 from the east.
