Franklands Village, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 3RE

Franklands Village is a model village built in the 1930s in order to create housing for a fair economic rent. Built on the site of Franklands Wood, which was originally part of the parish of Wivelsfield until transferred to Haywards Heath in 1934, the community consists of two roads, Graveleye Lane, to the east, which runs south to north, and Reed Pond Walk, to the west, which loops around in semi circle rejoining Graveleye Lane further up. Facilities include a purpose built shop, a large village hall, a playing field and a church. The Franklands Village Housing Association still let a considerable number of houses today all of which have their own gardens. This section of Reed Pond Walk was one of the last to be completed in 1938.

The main recreational playing area in Franklands Village located to the rear of the village hall. It is also home to Franklands Village FC who were formed in 1956 and joined Sussex County Division Three in 1983 where they largely stayed until resigning from the league in 2004 having been forced to move away from the ground due to a change in FA ground rules. They have now returned and play in the Mid Sussex League.

Section UG, according to a plan at the entrance. The section identification letters are presumably to some logical system, but it is far from obvious what it is.
