Franklands Village is a model village built in the 1930s in order to create housing for a fair economic rent. Built on the site of Franklands Wood, which was originally part of the parish of Wivelsfield until transferred to Haywards Heath in 1934, the community consists of two roads, Graveleye Lane, to the east, which runs south to north, and Reed Pond Walk, to the west, which loops around in semi circle rejoining Graveleye Lane further up. Facilities include a purpose built shop, a large village hall, a playing field and a church. The Franklands Village Housing Association still let a considerable number of houses today all of which have their own gardens. This section of Reed Pond Walk was one of the last to be completed in 1938.
