Colwell Road
Running between Lewes Road, the A272, and Fox Hill, the B2112, the route predates the construction of the town of Haywards Heath, originally forming the southern boundary of Otehall Common, the name of the Wivelsfield portion of the large common known as Haywards Heath. When the County Lunatic Asylum, later St Francis Hospital, was constructed in 1859 it was given the name, Asylum Road, which it retained until changing to its current name after the First World War.
This area of Haywards Heath was originally part of Wivelsfield parish until 1934.
