My mother, Beatrice Constable, was born in a little cottage in Balcombe. The happy event took place in a small asbestos bungalow with lots of hydrangeas around the front door. Her parents were Joshua and Elizabeth Constable. Nan had seven boys and seven girls. Some were stillborn and buried in the churchyard under a tree. Does anyone remember this family? ... [more]

We were taught at the village... [more]

As a child I went to the ABC minors every Saturday morning, it cost six old pence to get in. I think the last film that was shown at the cinema was in 1971, it was called Shaft and starred Richard Roundtree. I was one of the few there.

Haywards Heath Living Memories
The pub sells Tamplins beer (a Brighton-based brewery). Its name is rather apt, as the village is just a couple of miles south of Wakehurst, an extensive estate under the care of the National Trust, and also the outpost of the Royal Botanical Gardens, whose headquarters are at Kew.
