Vines Cross Road

Haywards Heath - A History & Celebration

TODAY IT IS still possible to see some vestiges of buildings that were known to those who lived through the English Civil War almost 400 years ago; one example is Pennies, a half-timbered house thought to have been built in 1606 and mentioned on a map of 1638, and currently incorporated within Dinnages garage in Sussex/ Wivelsfield Road.

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. The main casualty in Haywards Heath was the closure of the livestock market, which had at one point in its existence been the twelfth largest livestock market in the country.
