At the western apex of Muster Green is the war memorial, a 7.5 ton Cornish granite slab, which was unveiled in 1921 (the same year as the church clock) - both ceremonies were performed by Lord Leconsfield. The memorial bears 167 names. It is interesting to compare the height of the hedge with the one in photograph H252583. This site is always a focal point each 11 Novemeber, when the fallen of all conflicts are duly remembered.

The post office and general stores are still at the same site today at the summit of the hill and near the crossroads (though the proprietors have changed). Today the road traffic is much busier, so pedestrian-operated traffic lights are now installed here. The road junction to the right leads to the Common.

This photograph was taken from the platform of the railway station and emphasises the station`s elevated position. The building on the left with the decorative heraldic badge between the upper windows is the Burrell Arms pub. Both the pub and the nearby shops were always useful to the increasing number of people who used the transport links here. The single-storey building standing on the right of the photograph is where the bus station was built in 1954. The traffic roundabout had only just been completed, hence the title of this photograph. This view has changed very little during the past 50 years.

markings had been introduced. Most if not all of these cars would have been made in Britain, and may have been purchased through one of the town`s car dealerships, Caffyns, Wadham Stringer or Dinnages.

Muster Green is another open space maintained by the local council, and it flanks the A272. The name is said to originate from the mustering of troops during the English Civil War in the 17th century, but it could equally originate from a much earlier 13th-century charter allowing animals to be gathered (mustered) for two annual fairs in April and November, with a special mention that pigs could be mustered. Markets and fairs have always played an important part throughout the country, and Haywards Heath is no exception. The road heading into the distance is Boltro Road, which leads down to the railway station - the railway line is off to the right of this photograph.
