Twelve Acres
The name of the field according to Wivelsfield's 1843 tithe map viewed from Southdowns Park. The buildings below belong to Hospital Farm whilst the South Downs are just visible through the haze on the horizon. This field is earmarked for development and will have housing built upon as the Haywards Heath relief road is constructed to the south.

Old Farm Close
Small recently built estate constructed next to the Princess Royal Hospital. The long gap between Hurstwood Lane and the beginning of houses suggests it was built in the late 1990s as the plans for the Haywards Heath relief road, which will travel through that gap, were being formulated. Although originally part of Wivelsfield parish the land here was transferred in 1934 and is now part of Haywards Heath.

Old Track to Hospital Farm
The hospital was constructed on land once farmed by Hurst Farm and in time the former came to own the latter in order to provide both provisions and work for the patients, all part of the Victorian drive for self sufficiency. This remained the case until 1970 when the law was changed forbidding hospitals using patients for employment and the farm was eventually sold in 1978. The track is private and no longer seems well used.

Orchard Field
The name of the field according to Wivelsfield's 1843 tithe map whose days are numbered as the Haywards Heath relief road is due to built in the next few years. Its projected route will run from the right of Hospital Farm in the dip below and head straight through the point where I am standing joining the A272 at the current junction with Hurstwood Lane.
