Sunnywood Drive, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH16 4PD

A residential road linking Ashenground Road to Wood Ride located on the former site of Great Haywards Wood. It began to be developed in the 1930s but only the houses surrounding the small roundabout at the foot of the slope were completed before the Second World War ceased development. Work recommenced around 1947 with much of the road completed by the 1950s.

Designed and built by Lubetkin and Tecton, architects of the Gorilla House and Penguin Pool at London Zoo, between 1934-36 for what was a prospective estate that never materialised. There are eight houses in total and are listed as a good example of modernist architecture. See Image The eight houses surround a small island in Sunnywood Drive the rest of which was developed in a more conservative style in the late 1940s.

There are eight houses in total and are listed as a good example of modernist architecture. Numbers 68-70 are the only semi-detached houses in the set. Number 72 is to the left out of shot is also part of the group but has had a roof added and is the only one of the eight not listed.

A small cul de sac off Wood Ride that was developed in the 1930s on the site of a former field called Great Sawpit Field according to Cuckfield's 1843 tithe map.

Now part of the Ashenground Wood nature reserve which has been formed from the rump of the former woodland to the west of the railway after the rest was uprooted to allow development of Bolnore village. Originally part of a field called Four Acres which ended up being the site of much deposited spoil from the cutting of the adjacent railway and subsequently being left to allow a small wood to grow.

The name of the small wood given by the Friends of Ashenground and Bolnore Woods that is located on an embankment made from spoil from the time when the adjacent London-Brighton railway line was built. Now part of a local nature reserve that surrounds the new Bolnore development.

The name of the row of houses on the left that were built during the 1960s and are named due to their proximity to the old parish boundary with Keymer.

Built with the line in 1840 to carry an old highway over the railway. With the development of Haywards Heath the eastern side has become Ashenground Road whilst the western side has been reduced to the status of a bridleway.

Heading north from Ashenground Bridge to connect to the last phase of the Bolnore village development which is currently under construction. The small section of land located on spoil from the nearby railway cutting on the left and a small stream to the right was once a small field called Chatfields Lag according to Cuckfield's 1843 tithe map. The field has long been left to nature and can barely be made out.
