IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Lyoth Lane, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 2QA

Built in the first decade of the 20th century on the site of a former orchard.

A modern cul-de-sac off Marlow Drive built in the 1990s on the site of Northlands Wood which once formed the northern end of Wivelsfield parish but was transferred to Haywards Heath in 1934.

Looks like an 18th century cottage on the bend of Lyoth Lane.

A new estate built in the 1990s on the site of a former nursery whose name is recalled by Charlesworth Park, the road leading off to the right. The nursery itself was started in the first decade of the 20th century becoming well known for growing orchids. It survived into the 1950s whilst market gardening continued here until the late 1970s before succumbing to the outward growth of Haywards Heath. The land here was once a common that was gradually encroached upon until only a strip remained by the 1840s, Middle Field, Wood Field and Common Field now lie buried under the housing. Lyoth Common was originally part of Wivelsfield parish but was transferred to Haywards Heath in 1934.

Victorian cottages that seem to have been refurbished judging by the roof. The lane was previously known as Lyoth Lane which continued beyond the cottages then turned immediately left at the junction with Snowdrop Lane in the distance, however, that has recently been changed so the Lyoth Lane starts at the junction ahead and Snowdrop Lane continues westwards towards a junction with the A272.

The Snowdrop public house is now part of the Hall & Woodhouse (of Dorset) empire having previously been with King & Barnes the old name for brewing in Horsham.

Viewed from the footpath that links Lyoth Lane to Lewes Road the houses were built in the 1980s on the site of Northlands Wood which was once the northern extremity of Wivelsfield parish but was transferred to Haywards Heath in 1934 and developed over the following decades.

Part of the new Heathwood estate being built by Barratt homes. The path in the foreground links the estate to Lyoth Lane, vehicular access is via Langmore Lane. Originally an open field that was unnamed on Lindfield's 1845 tithe map but contained Jordans Barn up to at least the First World War.

The name of the wood according to Lindfield's 1845 tithe map that once existed here. Parts to the east were grubbed by the 1875 OS map, see Image, however this section survived until the 1950s. The current open fields allow public access via a single gate on Lyoth Lane.

Up until the 1960s the road was called Sluts Lane but was changed for some reason to that of the pub which can be seen in the distance. The Wealden countryside between Scaynes Hill and Chailey can be seen in the distance on the next ridge.
