Hickmans Lane, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 2NZ

Originally built as a lodge for a large Victorian house called Finches which became a private residence when the Tudor style mansion was turned into a country hotel. The latter was demolished in 1964 to make way for a new housing estate, see Image and Image, with the former lodge now located at the junction with the access road and Image

The western end of the playing fields, see Image for the eastern portion. The land within the southern arc of Hickmans Lane remained open meadows until into the 1960s when the owner died and the estate decided to sell to developers despite a verbal agreement that they would be left as open space to the public. Eventually a compromise agreement was reached whereby the two northern fields would remain open space and those to the south, now the Pickers Green estate, would be developed. The recreation ground is currently home to Lindfield Football Club who moved here fairly recently from the common.

An estate built in the 1960s on the site of a large Victorian house and its grounds of the same name. The original plans were for a set of high rise flats which resulted in a fierce battle with local residents leading to the formation of a local preservation society. The latter were victorious and had a hand in the design of the new estate which ironically housed more people than the proposed flats. The original Welkin had been developed by a former vicar and for a time was used as vicarage before becoming first a private residence and later a private boarding school.

Built in the late 1950s as initially a cul de sac off Hickman's Lane but later extended to join By Sunte to the west.
