A cul de sac off New England Road that was built in the mid 1960s.

The current road runs from Hazelgrove road to the eastern junction with Bentswood Road where it becomes America Lane. Prior to the 18890s it was little more than a track which would be straightened and gradually developed, the houses on the right were built during the Edwardian period and larger than some of the victorian cottages further east. Beyond them is Warden Park Primary Academy.

Opened in 1951 as Haywards Heath Primary it later became Heyworth until 2012 when it was taken over by the trust that runs Warden Park in Cuckfield. The blue plaque above the gatepost on the right is for the author Anna Sewell who resided for a time at Petlands, a nearby house long gone, whose grounds covered much of the area now containing the school.

Home since 1936 to the Haywards Heath Evangelical Free Church and now on their third building; the first was little more than a hut which opened in 1936 and was replaced by a more modern building in 1967. The current building dates from 2011 which was also when the church changed its name to its current one.

Heyworth Primary School is on the left.

A residential road that runs between New England Road and Woodlands Road and built by the council in 1925.

Looking eastwards from the junction with Mayflower Road, the initial three houses on either side date from the 1920s when the road was originally laid out, those beyond were added in the late 1950s when the road was extended to Windermere Road. Prior to that much of the area was the original site of Haywards Heath's first sewage farm which by 1910 has become allotments. The eastern end of the road is built on the site of a former brick field. The woodlands in the name would have been an acknowledgement of nearby Petlands Wood and Bent's Wood both of which have been lost to development.

Small cul de sac containing a couple of blocks of flats that were constructed in the mid 1960s on the site of a former corporation yard.

The road runs in a circular fashion from New England Road and back again further east to the point where it changes to America Lane. This section looks down towards the junction with Little Bentswood and Bentswood Crescent. The Bentswood estate was begun by the local council in the mid 1920s and largely completed by the mid 1930s with a couple editions after the war. Named after the wood it was built on.

Looking eastwards along the road that was laid out around the 1880s along with many of the houses visible on the left. The road becomes America Lane at the eastern junction with Bentswood Road a point which once marked the parish boundary between Cuckfield and Lindfield. The white van is pulling out of Western Road.
