IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Oakroyd Close, BURGESS HILL, RH15 0QN

Small cul-de-sac off Janes Lane in the north eastern part of Burgess Hill.

Small 1990s housing estate which despite being part of Burgess Hill is actually in Lewes District Council and East Sussex. The footpath from which the picture was taken forms the boundary of East and West Sussex.

Looking down towards the eastern edge of Burgess Hill. The footpath also forms the administrative boundary between West (to the left) and East (to the right) Sussex.

Predating the housing estates that have sprung up around it and since 1974 has been the boundary between East Sussex to the left and West Sussex to the right. However, the trees on the left are a remnant of an old field boundary that has remained intact particularly as the estate beyond it was still a field into the 1990s.

Small cul-de-sac off Janes Lane.

The name of the field according to Wivelsfield's 1843 tithe map. This is the view south of the footpath which is also a county boundary thus putting this section in West Sussex since 1974. Part of the field was lost at the beginning of the 20th century to the houses and their gardens that were built on Janes Lane whilst those houses to the right belong to Oakroyd Close which was constructed in the 1960s. One wonders how long before this field is covered with a housing estate. See Image for a view of northern section.

World's End is a Northern district of Burgess Hill, It is thought that the name arrived with the railway – it was here that the 'up' line met the 'down' line during construction of the Brighton main line (1837–1841), though it may also reflect the workers' sense of remoteness while billeted in a local farm (in the Noel Rise area).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_End,_West_Sussex

The name of the field according to Wivelsfield's 1843 tithe map. This part of the field is to the north of the footpath which is also the county boundary meaning this is East Sussex. The houses are in a small estate built in the 1990s whilst another is under construction to the north beyond the trees on the right. One wonders how long this field will survive before the pressures of housing mean more construction. See Image for the southern portion.

Small private housing estate off Janes Lane opposite World's End Recreation Ground.

Taken from the junction with Image, it was once part of Valebridge Common that was enclosed in 1828 when this area became a wood known as The Plantation owned by Theobalds Farm until that was broken up and sold in 1920, this area in small plots chiefly designed for house building. The small estate was built during the 1960s and this road remained a cul-de-sac until the 1990s when the Charlwood Road estate was built off of it.
