Mill Green Road, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 1XQ

Once a small field to the immediate north of Scrase Stream known as Mill Legs according to Lindfield's 1845 tithe map. By the 1897 OS map it had become a brick field which had been excavated into a fish pond with a boathouse by the following 1910 edition. By the Second World War the pond had shrunk with the rest of the field now just rough ground which it remained until the 1960s when it became a depot. It was converted into the current business park some time in the last decade.

The road predates the town and linked the common to a mill that lay beyond a bridge of Scrase Stream. The arrival of the railway in 1841 diverted the road and removed the old bridge which was located somewhere beneath the current embankment to the left. The houses on the right were built in the 1890s.

The main London to Brighton line is behind the trees on the left.

The road was laid out in the first decade of the 20th century though development was intermittent along it. This is the western junction with Queens Road located on a former field called Mill Field, according to Cuckfield's 1843 tithe map. The buildings on the left are part of Gordon Close built on the former site of Griffins Garage.

Heading north from Commercial Square to Balcombe. One of the original roads across the old heath that was realigned with the construction of the railway in 1840.

A cul de sac off Gordon Road. Originally part of the grounds of a brewery that existed here from the 1870s until it burnt down in 1888. The site was then divided between a terrace of Victorian houses facing Mill Green Road and firstly a coach building business that later evolved into motor garage and car showroom. The current close developed sometime in the 1980s. Beyond is the tower belonging to the fire station.

Built to take the road to Balcombe from what was then the barren Haywards Heath common under the newly completed railway. Mill Green Road is on the left whilst the road continues to the right as College Road.
