New housing estate being built as part of the Haywards Heath relief road scheme. It lies between the western edge of Southdowns Park, the former St Francis Hospital and the remains of Anscombe Wood in the distance to the left much of which has been grubbed to make way for the estate. A small field called Nine Acres, according to Wivelsfield's 1843 tithe map once stood to the immediate right. The area was part of Wivelsfield parish until 1934 when it was transferred to Haywards Heath
