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 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.

St Francis Sport and Social Club
Founded during the 1960s and still going strong today having outlived the hospital it was built to serve though I believe it still acts as a social club for the members of Princess Royal Hospital. The sports club runs a Sussex County football team, cricket, hockey and stoolball teams as well as owning Image
