Syresham Gardens, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 3UY

A residential road that runs from St Augustine's Way to Priory Way. During the 1860s it became part of Hazelgrove Park which was acquired in 1886 by the Priory of Our Lady who subsequently built their priory with this area becoming part of the extensive grounds. These were sold for development, along with the building, in the late 1970s when the Priory moved to Sayers Common. The road heading off to the right is Image

The main road through the town is also the A272 (east west road) and has all the usual shops including Woolworths, Boots, Smiths, and Halfords.

Former Priory of Our Lady of Good Counsel established here by the English Convent of Bruges in 1886. The purchase of the Hazelgrove estate behind the building enables the Priory to eventually construct the building which was consecrated in 1897. It remained in use until the late 1970s when the nuns move to Sayers Commons, the grounds were turned into a housing estate and the building itself converted into a bar and restaurant the latter located in the formal chapel which has been largely maintained along with the windows. Taken from the corner of Triangle Road with Sussex Square and South Road in the distance.

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.

From the late 19th century to at least the end of the 1960s this was the site of a small nursery. Certainly by the early 1970s when I regularly walked along Franklynn Road it had become a car park. Beyond is the former Priory.

The current development was built about a decade ago on the site of the former Sussex pub which had opened as the Volunteer Inn around 1860. Sussex Square is the name given to the crossroads of the former A272 and B2112 which predated the arrival of the town. The road in view to the right is Sussex Road which heads south to Wivelsfield and Ditchling.

A residential road that runs from Western Road to the former priory buildings. According to Cuckfield's 1843 tithe map this was once Red Lion Field which became part of the grounds of Hazelgrove House then Priory of Our Lady when that replaced the house in the early 1890s. The Priory and its lands were sold in 1977 and the state developed on it.

Located between Sussex Gate to the left and Image out of shot to the right. It looks like a former cinema but isn't and was built to replace four 19th century cottages that once stood on this site.
