Market Place, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 1DB

Located opposite the western entrance of Haywards Heath station, it was opened around 1842 as the original Station Inn and is now the only surviving building of the original cluster built around the station. It went through a variety of names including Station Hotel, Goldings Hotel, Hayworthe Arms Hotel until the 1980s when it was converted not offices, renamed Zenith House after the insurance company moved in and changed to Hayworthe House when they moved out.

Caffyns have been in the motor vehicle industry since 1904 previously being gasfitters and electrical engineers in Eastbourne. They have branches all over Sussex with this one occupying an art deco premises opposite the station from which this picture was taken from platform 4.

The road was built in the late 1950s to provide access to the town from the newly built Harlands estate on the western side of the town. The site was originally the location for the first cattle market opened in 1868 before moving to a larger site to the north in 1883, see Image The current houses on the right were built on the site of former offices. At the far end of the road at the junction with Market Place is Haywards Heath station.

A steam excursion at Haywards Heath en route to the Bluebell Railway. The train reversed here and took the line towards East Grinstead, to join the Bluebell at Horsted Keynes Image Most of the track to Horsted Keynes has since been dismantled. The nearer locomotive is London & South Western Railway class T9 (4-4-0) 120 (later BR 30120), built in 1899, and currently at the Bodmin & Wenford Railway. See Image for details of the leading locomotive.

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.
