Oakwood Road, Haywards Heath

Currently a private cul de sac off Muster Green South. The road predates the town and is clearly marked on a 1638 estate map where it was an access road for Great Haywards Farm, a building which still stands. By the later half of the 19th century it was also an access road for two more large houses; Great Haywards and Oakwood; which remained the case until the mid 1970s when Great Haywards was demolished the fields around the former farm were developed. Since then the road has become a dead end though a footpath continues through to Wealden Way.
