ROUND OUR WAY: Haywards Heath

HAYWARDS HEATH

1 The Sergison Arms, later known as The Dolphin, was the first public house in the town. With parts of it dating from the late 16th century, it is also the oldest building in town. Most of the original building still stands, but these days it’s known as the Miller and Carter Steakhouse at the top of Muster Green.

2 In the early-90s the Haywards Heath Building Society merged with the Yorkshire Building Society but it had been founded in 1890 and was a mainstay of the community for years. One of the early company headquarters still stands today as Café Rouge on The Broadway.

3 The United Reformed Church stands proudly on South Road and if you look either side of the front door, there are two foundation stones, both laid on 9 December 1914. I imagine the people present that day still thought the war would be over at any moment. Little did they know. The stone on the left was laid by ‘Mrs George Norton (wife of the pastor)’. Poor woman – we don’t even know her first name.
