The Welkin, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 2PL

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.
