Occupying part of the former Haywards heath Hospital which was located here from 1912 until the 1990s when all services were moved to the newly opened Princess Royal. Originally opened as a cottage hospital in Ashenground Road in 1906 it moved here in 1912 and was renamed the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital before becoming the Haywards Heath Hospital in 1973

The quadrangle is a semi open area that was built in 1953 on the site of the former large Victorian house called Beech Hurst. The last owner had bequeathed both house and gardens to the council to be used for public enjoyment. However, the house had not been lived in since 1940 and used by the military during the war and was seen to be beyond repair and pulled down not long after it was acquired in 1950. The quadrangle was built next to the former stables and billiard room which were turned into tea rooms but were pulled down in a revamp around 2002, however, the quadrangle survived and has now been integrated into the newly built Harvester public house.

Originally the site of the house called beech Hurst which was built sometime in the 1860s and went through a variety of owners until the last, William Yapp, bequeathed the house and grounds to the local council on condition it was turned into an amenity to be enjoyed by the public. The house itself was used as a convalescent home in World War One and an army camp during World War Two, and with the death of Yapp in 1946 had probably fallen into disrepair by the time it was acquired by the council in 1950 and was subsequently demolished in 1952 with exception of the stable block and billiard room. On the site of the former house a quadrangle was constructed which was retained when current owners acquired the complex and removed the stables and billiard room and built the current public house.
