Washington Road, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 3HH

A continuation of Oathall Avenue until the junction with Barn Cottage Lane whereupon it changes to Hanbury Lane. The road and adjacent estates were developed in the late 1940s on the former Bent's Wood.

At the junction with Barn Cottage Lane, Hanbury Lane becomes Washington Road that was developed sometime between 1947 and 1955 on the northern part of Bent's Wood.

Built as a council estate in the 1930s on the site of Bent's Wood from which the estate got its name. The road itself links Barn Cottage Lane to Bentswood Road.

Running in a crescent shape north of Washington Road and developed sometime between 1947 and 1955 on the northern end of Bent's Wood. Most of the road names in this part of Haywards Heath, that was originally in the parish of Lindfield up to the 1930s, either have connections to America, the name given to the former smallholding settlement set up by William Allen, or quakers, which Allen was one, or indeed Allen himself. The exceptions are Barn Cottage Lane and Bentswood Crescent named after local places.

Along with Penn Crescent the road was developed after the Second World War on the site of Bent's Wood linking up Oathall Avenue and the junctions of Barn Cottage Lane and Hanbury Lane.

Built in the 1930s on the site of Bent's Wood and running from Bentswood Road to Barn Cottage Lane.

The current estate was built in the last seven or eight years on the site of Pilgrim Court built in the early 1950s as sheltered housing for the elderly. Pilgrims Gardens is located off America Lane with a footpath that runs north to Bentswood Crescent.

A residential road that has Image to the east and runs between America Lane and Hanbury Lane. In fact the road is the former route of America Lane which was redirected to the south when the estate here was built in the late 1940s. Originally, to the left was Bent's Wood whilst a couple of properties lined the right, Woodsde Cottage and Barn Cottage, the latter located on the corner of Image Both survived until around 1950 when the former was demolished for the recreation ground and the later removed for housing.

The footpath runs from Hanbury Lane in Haywards Heath to Backwoods Lane, Lindfield and predates all the development around it. To the right is the new development on the former Wilmington Way estate whilst the trees on the left are sole surviving remnant of Bent's Wood which once covered a large area from Scrase Stream to America Lane in the south.

Small group of bungalows off Barn Cottage Lane facing out onto a recreation ground, the name derivative off the former farmlands that existed in the area before the coming of the town.
