IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Boltro Road, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 1BP

I am grateful to Simon Fitzpatrick for the information that this building was erected in about 1889 by the Capital & Counties Bank. It was taken over by Lloyds in the 1940s and eventually closed as a bank in the late 1990s. The building currently (August 2008) contains commercial offices.

Linking Muster Green North to Market Place and named after a farm dating back to the 16th century which still stands at the southern end of the road. The section in view is the northern end and contains some mid 19th century properties which originally formed an early centre of commercial activity around the station. Some of the villas from same period still stand on the western side but many have been replaced by flats and offices on the eastern side. The new building to the right is the town's job centre.

A town centre road on the quieter side of the railway.

Located near the junction of Boltro Road and Paddockhall Road and built around 2002 on the old site of the town's police station and court. Beyond is Haywards Heath telephone exchange.

Built in the first decade of the 20th century on the corner of Paddockhall Road and Markedt Place. Beyond is Haywards Heath station.

Built as part of the development of the site on the eastern side of Haywards Heath station. Much of the former extensive goods yard has long been used as a car park which has now been replaced by a new multi-storey block which will open in August. Much of the foreground will be redeveloped as part of a car park for a new Waitrose as well as improved vehicle access routes to replace the current forecourt opened in the 1930s. The Cycle Hub on the right is also to close with all cycle bays to moved to the new car park. The redevelopment plans also include the possibility of the Bluebell Railway eventually connecting to the main network.

Built in the 1860s and once known as Holly House, it has been extended to the rear and converted into flats. Beyond is the junction with Milton Road.

As well as the main entrance, Haywards Heath station also has a smaller side entrance in Boltro Road.

The road runs north of the junction of Paddockhall Road and Boltro Road then turns east under the railway to Commercial Square. The first road to be developed after the arrival of the railway in 1841 with the construction of the Station Inn, now Hayworth House which lies beyond the buildings in view, and not long after a timber yard and cattle market, see Image Owen Garages is on the immediate left with Barclay Court beyond, the latter, as the name suggests, is a former bank. The western entrance to Haywards Heath station is on the right.

Built in 1965 and located next to the junction with Milton Road.
