More about this scene
This photograph looks northwards. The Broadway also has a branch of the National Provincial Bank (third from the right) next to the post office, leading on to a greengrocer`s, an optician`s and a ladies` hairdresser amongst others. It is odd that the street lighting is only on the left side of the road, supported by the telephone poles.

This looks like such beautiful countryside; I would love to visit one day and have some first hand memories of the place!
Anyone have any memories or know anyone who lived in the Bentswood Road area during the early 1950s. I was born in Haywards Heath in 1949 and Bentswood Road is on my birth certificate.
