The estate was fully independent with a fully operational farm, garden and laundry with a staff of over 30. During the war... [more]

Perrymount Cinema

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.

Charles Clarke clock

My Dad put up the clock that used to hang outside his office of Charles Clarke printers in Boltro Road. Does anybody know what happened to it ?

Sergison Arms

Standard 8 Tourer

This neat little Standard 8 Tourer (DNJ 785 - an East Sussex registration from 1947) could then get down nearly to the pavilion.

Haywards Heath Living Memories

After buying the farmhouse of Townlands Farm in 1875, Charles Kempe promptly began to enlarge the property in a style in keeping with the existing small house. The property was renamed Old Place, with the original building called West Wing. The decorated column in the garden is a sundial, said to be a copy of the one at Pembroke College, Oxford where Kempe... [more]

Haywards Heath Living Memories

Mrs Horsefield was just as enterprising as her husband; she opened a meat-free restaurant in Haywards Heath, which became very popular. Her next enterprise was to convert the adjacent Elizabethan barn into a tearoom, which gave adults the chance to keep an eye on the children whilst also catching up with the latest news. In this photograph, business seems to be brisk! By the mid... [more]

Haywards Heath Living Memories

The chequered brick and weather boarded cottage (right) is Barclays Bank; it opened in 1910 in what was then the front room of a cottage. The bank was to stay here until 1999. The post office is in the adjacent building off to the right of the photograph. These buildings give a cottagy feel to what is essentially a commercial street, as we can see from the buildings opposite - they house... [more]
