IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Oldfield Drive, HAYWARDS HEATH, RH17 7TF

The road has had its name changed recently from Lyoth Lane which now starts at a junction beyond Image in the distance. Lyoth Common is a former common that was gradually encroached upon between the 17th and 19th centuries leaving only a small strip by the time of the tithe survey in 1843 which had soon been enclosed to become a nursery which survived until the 1970s when the area along with nearby Northlands Wood was built upon. Lyoth Common was transferred from Wivelsfield to Haywards Heath in 1934.

Up until the 1960s the road was called Sluts Lane but was changed for some reason to that of the pub which can be seen in the distance. The Wealden countryside between Scaynes Hill and Chailey can be seen in the distance on the next ridge.

Victorian cottages that seem to have been refurbished judging by the roof. The lane was previously known as Lyoth Lane which continued beyond the cottages then turned immediately left at the junction with Snowdrop Lane in the distance, however, that has recently been changed so the Lyoth Lane starts at the junction ahead and Snowdrop Lane continues westwards towards a junction with the A272.

The name of the field according to Wivelsfield's 1843 tithe map viewed from Lewes Road. The land here is now part of Haywards Heath.

Small cul-de-sac built off Snowdrop Lane during the 1990s. Lyoth Common was originally part of Wivelsfield but was transferred to Haywards Heath in 1934.

The number of the field according to Lindfield's 1845 tithe map that was not named on the survey. Located to the south of Snowdrop Lane with views of the Weald in the distance.

The Snowdrop public house is now part of the Hall & Woodhouse (of Dorset) empire having previously been with King & Barnes the old name for brewing in Horsham.

Originally a 19th century beer house and currently between owners when I passed by this day and therefore closed. Snowdrop Lane was known as Sluts Lane until as late as the 1960s. The house beyond is Excelsior.
