Woodlands Road, Haywards Heath

Looking eastwards from the junction with Mayflower Road, the initial three houses on either side date from the 1920s when the road was originally laid out, those beyond were added in the late 1950s when the road was extended to Windermere Road. Prior to that much of the area was the original site of Haywards Heath's first sewage farm which by 1910 has become allotments. The eastern end of the road is built on the site of a former brick field. The woodlands in the name would have been an acknowledgement of nearby Petlands Wood and Bent's Wood both of which have been lost to development.
