Haywards Heath

When the London to Brighton railway line was built a stop was needed to service the small towns of Cuckfield and Lindfield. However, neither town was happy to have a station running through their back yards so Haywards Heath, pretty much directly in the middle of the two came to be the railway town. Since that day Haywards Heath has grown and grown, leaving Cuckfield and Lindfield to become satellite villages to their bigger brother.

Haywards Heath is divided into three main groups, those that disappaer to London each day (45 minutes away by train), those that work in the area (there are plenty of financial institutions with offices in Haywards Heath) and those that are retired. Haywards Heath is sufficiently far from London to count as the countryside - the Souths Downs are only a short drive away. There are plenty of very rich folk in Haywards Heath, it being much nicer that the town of Crawley to the North and Burgess Hill to the South.
