Iona Way, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 3TA

A cul de sac that heads south from the junction of St Augustine's Way and Syresham Gardens which was developed in the late 1970s on the grounds of the former Priory of Our Lady.

Built over 1928-29 on land donated by the former nearby Priory of Our Lady with the first service conducted in 1930. The building to the right is the Presbytery used as the parish office.

Looking towards the entrance to South Road from the Hazelgrove Road exit. Sometimes known to older residents as Hiltons Corner after the former furniture store that was located between the two junctions from 1923 until the 1980s. The Hilton family were early arrivals in Haywards Heath and built up a small local retail empire in the town throughout much of the 20th century until disappearing during the 1980s. The old shop was replaced during that era and is now occupied by Laura Ashley whilst the flats above are now known as Hilton Court. Beyond with the blue shop front is Wisdom Sports a very good old fashioned independent sports shop that was opened in 1977 by Nick Wisdom, who made two first class appearances for Sussex cricket and is the only son of former comedian Norman Wisdom. Sussex Square is an ancient crossroads that predates the town and was until last autumn the point where the A272 and B2112 crossed each other.

The access road for the Priory estate which heads north from Sussex Square, the building of which removed the old island in the square and replaced it with the current roundabout.

Officially part of the Orchards shopping centre but located outside the precinct allowing for longer opening hours.

This is the private car park (accessed from St Wilfrid's Way) for some of the businesses in South Road; there is a huge public car park adjacent to this one.

View of the St Wilfrid's Way car park, providing private parking for some of the businesses in South Road.

The replica steam engine, situated on the Sussex Square roundabout, has a plaque with the number 175 attached to the back of its tender. It would seem to relate to the news that The Mid Sussex Times reported on 20 March 2015 that plans, for a special historical celebration, were on track – as Haywards Heath got ready to mark the 175th anniversary of the first steam engine arriving in the town. Organised by the Haywards Heath Town Team, the weekend event was set to take place on September 17 and 18, 2016 http://www.midsussextimes.co.uk/news/local/all-aboard-for-haywards-heath-175th-anniversary-event-1-6640071#ixzz4AXeCQfXz

A 1960s shop and office block on the main shopping road of the town.

The B2112 heading north from Sussex Square. The road predates the town following what was an old track over barren heathland and began to be developed in the 1870s particularly the western side whilst the eastern side remained part of the grounds of the Priory of Our Lady with some development during the 10th century, particularly Image and St Joseph's School. At the junction with Church Road the name changes to Oathall Road.
