Muster Green South, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 4AJ

Since autumn 2014 this has been the B2272 after the opening of the Haywards Heath bypass to the south that finally takes the busy 272 out of the town. The road itself predates the town and was the old medieval road from Cuckfield to the east which passed a former common called Muster Green the remnants of which have now become an open space on the right.

Positioned at the western tip of Muster Green formerly part of the large common that formed the original Haywards Heath and said to be the meeting place over the centuries of the local militia.

The Dolphin pub used to be known locally as the 'Sarge' short for Sergison Arms. Now a very busy pub serving food.

Currently a private cul de sac off Muster Green South. The road predates the town and is clearly marked on a 1638 estate map where it was an access road for Great Haywards Farm, a building which still stands. By the later half of the 19th century it was also an access road for two more large houses; Great Haywards and Oakwood; which remained the case until the mid 1970s when Great Haywards was demolished the fields around the former farm were developed. Since then the road has become a dead end though a footpath continues through to Wealden Way.

Built in the late 19th century to service Elfinsward which lay opposite and was demolished in 1973 to make way for Image and Image Now a private residence.

The building dates from the 16th century and was originally known as Vinalls which it retained at least up to 1809. By 1832 it had been converted into the Dolphin Inn, possibly taking advantage of the east-west turnpike that had opened in 1825 that later became the A272. By 1845 it had become the Sergison Arms which it remained until the 1990s when it reverted to the Dolphin again. About five years ago it once more became the Sergison. The name derives from a family of local landowners whose emblem contained a dolphin. The pub is located at the junction of the former A272 and Paddockhall Road both highways that predate the town. The latter was called Paddock Lane on a 1638 estate map.
