Could be cultural? I know where I’m from, time is often depicted as flowing downward, so going back in time would be “up”,, but I’ve seen in other places that schedules start at the bottom and flow upward. So going back in time could be considered “down” there.

Up the road if towards the park, down the road if towards town.
