Triangle Road, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 4HN

One of the earliest roads established in Haywards Heath linking the road to Uckfield with that to Wivelsfield across a small piece of land known as the Triangle. Houses and shops were established in this road by the early 1870s.

Home to Ecotecture, eco friendly architects. The building seems to date from the early 20th century when Sussex Road was establishing itself as the southern end of the commercial sector of the town.

Originally a set of cottages built some time during the 1860s possibly for workers who were employed in a nearby brickworks. Their conversion into shops probably came about at the time Sussex Road itself turned from a residential road into a commercial street.

Pub located at the junction of Sussex Road, the B2112, and Triangle Road. The building appears on the 1897 OS map but is not marked as a public house until 1910 most likely opened to serve the growing communities to the west and south.

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 meeting place of the Plymouth Brethren that was established here in the late 1930s having originally been located in South Road.

The Methodists occupied a building here in 1876 and rebuilt it the following year, extending it in 1957. They moved out in 1991 and were replaced by the Baptists.

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.

An ancient highway that once crossed the lonely heath from Lindfield to Ditchling now the B2112. One of the main shopping streets of the town though not the original as the distance between buildings and pavement on both sides implies former gardens. The large building to the left was built in the late 1960s and included a Co-op department store at its base which has long gone. The crane to the right is currently helping to construct new buildings on the site of the former Sussex Hotel built at the crossroads in 1861 and originally known as the Volunteer.

Residential street linking Kents Road to Wivelsfield Road, the B2112. They were built during the 1860s as the town of Haywards Heath began to grow.
