Downlands Park, Isaac's Lane, Haywards Heath
Currently a nursing home run by BUPA. The house dates from around the 1880s and was built on a former field called The New Park and originally called Parkfield. In the early 1900s the house became a private boys prep school which amalgamated in the 1930s with another from Brighton called The Wick to become Wick and Parkfield School. The school operated for nearly 70 years closing in 1974 whereupon it was acquired by Downlands College, then based in Saltdean near Brighton, a specialist school for those with severe dyslexia and dysgraphia. Downlands continued until it closed in 1985 as result of changes in local authority funding for special schools. Viewed from a side entrance on Bolnore Farm Lane.
