Oak Lee, Compton Road, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 2PF

Sheltered housing for over 65s built in 1975.

A residential road that links Denman's Lane to Hickman's Lane and one of the earliest developments off the High Street on the western side dating from the early 1900s occupying a former field called Home Field according to Lindfield's 1845 tithe map.

Edwardian houses line the western side of the northern end of the road, the first to be developed west of the High Street.

Sheltered housing off Compton Road built sometime in the late 1970s.

A cul de sac off Denman's Lane that was built between the wars.

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 visible to the left, would be developed. The recreation ground is currently home to Lindfield Football Club who moved here fairly recently from the common.

An old lane that heads west to what was the old West Common but now terminates at Hickman's Lane. The houses on the left were added between the wars when the road began to be developed.

An old highway that predates the growth of urban Lindfield which once linked the High street to the former West Common. Now runs in an arc from the former to rejoin the B2028 to the south at Black Hill. The Edwardian town houses on the right are Warren Croft and Lyndhurst.

This is an educated guess regarding the building with the chimney to the rear which lies between Image to the south and Image to the north. I cannot find a reference for this number except for a planning application document for the former which refers to Gardeners Cottage and a listed building reference to a stable block north west of the Manor House.

Number 85 is known as The Manor House and is one of the few buildings on the High Street, south of the church, to be set a little distance back from the road, see also Image The building dates from either the late 16th or early 17th century and was originally timber framed until it was refronted in the early 18th century.
