About Fencing in Haywards Heath

Haywards Heath in West Sussex barely existed before the railway arrived in 1841, having consisted of little more than heathland between the older villages of Lindfield and Cuckfield, with just two inns, eight farmhouses and a handful of cottages recorded before that point. The town's oldest quarter, Muster Green, was the site of a bloody Civil War battle in December 1642, when an outnumbered Parliamentarian force routed a much larger Royalist army and helped secure Sussex for Parliament's cause. Haywards Heath owes its later growth almost entirely to its position on the London to Brighton railway line, and rather ironically the town only became the region's transport hub because neighbouring Cuckfield and Lindfield refused to allow the new railway to pass through their own parishes, leaving Haywards Heath to reap the benefits instead.
