The George Inn - Sarah & Walter Welling
My ancestral relatives are listed in the 1881 Census as the proprietors of "The High Street George Inn" in Henfield.

My parents, Alan & Jennifer Ross, moved to Clayton in 1954 when I was one year old and lived there for the next twenty five years.

Haywards Heath - A History & Celebration

Haywards Heath - A History & Celebration
The aftermath of the recession left businesses striving to become more efficient. It was not just the service industries and manufacturing industries that had to transform themselves, but the local agricultural scene also needed to change.
