More about this scene

From its beginnings as a railway station amid fields, the town has grown and continues to grow dramatically. Church Road's late 19th-century shopping parade leads from the station to the steepled 1860s church, built to minister a burgeoning commuter town.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was born in 14 Church Road, the property above the jewellers. I lived in Burgess Hill until I was eight years old. I remember the open air swimmng pool and all the areas around the town which were fields. I started school at London Road School or Junction Road School as it was known. I remember the Salvation Army playing their music at the corner of Church Road every Sunday morning.
