Valebridge Road, World's End
The road has its origins as an old droveway that ran from Keymer village north to the great common on Haywards Heath. At this point it ran through Valebridge Common part of which survives as Bedelands Nature Reserve. The common was enclosed in 1828 and the road was straightened though development had to wait until the sale of Theobalds estate in 1920 for the houses either side to be built.

Former Shops, Valebridge Road, World's End
The one on the left is now residential whilst the former newsagents awaits a buyer. Worth it whilst the shop name remains as Mr Stubbings the tobacconist sounds like something you would find in a set of Happy Family cards.

Valebridge Drive, World's End
Taken at the junction with
Image Once part of Valebridge Common until that was enclosed in 1828 with this section going to Theobalds Farm who grew a small wood called The Plantation. The wood lasted until the estate was sold off in 1920 with this area broken up into small plots for housebuilding which duly grew lining the eastern side of Valebridge Road. The small estate was constructed in the 1960s and initially turns east to south as it hits the district boundary between Mid Sussex and Lewes which is also the administrative boundary between both Sussexes.
