Commuter Land - Noel Rise, Burgess Hill
A residential area of Burgess Hill. The view here is of 1950s houses built close to the main London-Brighton line station at Wivelsfield. There is an area of streets here with a similar style of housing. Burgess Hill is close enough to London to be a dormitory town for London workers.

1980s Housing at Leylands Park, Burgess Hill
Burgess Hill has expanded continuously, since the railway first arrived in the nineteenth century. Here we see a typical selection of 1980s built houses built as part of a large estate on the N side of the town.

Railway Bridge, Leylands Road, Worlds End
The bridge carries the London-Brighton line over this busy minor road as well as the platforms of Wivelsfield station. The latter is a bit of an anomaly, being over 2 miles from the village and outside the parish boundary. It was a late addition to the line opening in 1886 to replace a station on the branch to Lewes. For the first 10 years it was known as Keymer Junction before changing to its current name in 1896.

Maple Drive
Taken from the junction with Leylands Park, this part was built in the 1970s which originally made the estate a cul-de-sac, the extension to London Road was filled in the 1980s.
