More about this scene
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.
