Burgess Hill’s Heritage<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Heritage is many-faceted. It is made up of the people who once lived and worked here and events of note; it is the buildings, some older, some younger, among which we live and work; it is the older rural landscape \u2013 often still \u2018hidden\u2019 in plain sight \u2013 if only we knew what we were looking at! In recent years we have been working in tandem with the Town Council to understand our history so as to identify what is of value in our local heritage, and to spread the word.<\/p>\n

Do join us in flagging up the people, their stories, the buildings, the trees, hedges and the green spaces you value, and join us in our \u2018heritage hunt\u2019. We can\u2019t conserve it once it\u2019s gone!!!!!!!!!!!! \u00a0But if we are lucky we can identify it and preserve it.<\/p>\n

Dunkeld House, was the home of Colonel Robert McKergow of Twineham. It was built circa 1871 for Robert Mckergow (Senior) a scottish wine Merchant, and is one of several large mansions which formerly crowned the top of the town. Others were Samson Copestake\u2019s \u2018Wynnstay\u2019 and a mansion called Tower House. \u00a0Both have since been since demolished. The house opposite Tower House still stands at the top of Silverdale Road and has survived as Oak Lodge nursing home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Down in the town, the old Police Station has gone but the \u2018Constitutional Club\u2019, our first seat of local government, has survived. In the London Road, Henry Burt, co-founder of the famous building firm Norman and Burt, built his own house displaying his HB \u00a0\u2018logo\u2019 (now painted over, above the main door), which we have now adopted as our Association logo, rescued\u00a0 from the building by Fred Avery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In recent years, despite our objections, we have been unable to save two historic houses which had escaped being \u2018listed\u2019 as of historic merit, the 17th<\/sup> century King\u2019s Head pub at Fairplace Hill, demolished in 2013 and the far older Bridge Hall Farm at the bottom of the Hill, demolished in 2021. Luckily its complex of barns have survived as the Oak Barn Bar & Restaurant.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

For a brief analysis as to why Burgess Hill\u2019s history and heritage had, until recent times been generally overlooked,\u00a0 Go to:\u00a0Why Burgess Hill\u2019s heritage has been overlooked<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Did you know \u2013 we have three conservation areas?<\/h2>\n

In 1982 and 1989 Mid Sussex District Council officer Alma Howell, with help and advice from ourselves, created three separate areas of Burgess Hill as Conservation areas: Specific value was put on the use of brick, tile hanging and decorative roof features as products of the local industries. It also commented on the presence of substantial trees in the first two area as part of their essential character.\u00a0 It was realised that many buildings of superb merit, built by local firms using local materials, had already been pulled down. The first two conservation areas relate to the superior housing around Silverdale Road and Park Road. The third relates to the streets of mid-Victorian \u2018artisan\u2019 housing immediately west of London Road.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

1. The Silverdale, Road Birchwood Grove and Keymer Road area:<\/h4>\n

Many really superb houses still stand in this leafy, elevated part of town which in the second half of the 19th<\/sup> century attracted well-to-do people from Brighton and elsewhere to buy a plot of land and have a house built.<\/p>\n

The local brick and tile entrepreneurs also bought here. The owner of the Keymer Brick and tile works in Junction Road, Sampson Copestake built \u2018Wynnstay\u2019 on the western curve of the hill, commanding fine views as far as Chanctonbury Ring near Worthing. It was pulled down in the 1970s. His manager at the works had his house built on the other side of the road and it is now part of the Burgess Hill School for Girls. One resident, Thomas F. L. Blaker, resident of a house called Avonhurst at the top of Junction Road, was so taken with his new surrounds and so keen to promote it to others that he published a small booklet \u00a0advertising Burgess Hill as a Health Resort <\/em>(John Beal & Co.,), 1883.\u00a0 <\/em>The fresh airs, charming local woods and walks and the interesting local geology are all enthusiastically extolled! A decade later a property company had been formed to create Silverdale, Ferndale and Glendale roads on the eastern flank of the hill. It is here, with Keymer Road itself and Birchwood Grove Road that a wonderful variety of Victorian houses still stand and hopefully, protected by the Conservation order, will continue to stand into the distant future.<\/p>\n

Keymer Road at the top of the hill was first developed for the very-well-off who built several prestigious mansions there, including the white-painted ranges now part of ‘Burgess Hill Girls’ school.\u00a0 Hard on their heels, the east flank of the hill was purchased by a property company who then developed ‘The Burgess Hill Estate’, in a variety of Victorian and Edwardian styles in Silverdale, Ferndale and Glendale Roads.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

2. St. John\u2019s Church and the St John\u2019s Park area<\/h4>\n

St John\u2019s Common was once a very large area and the part which lay east of the London Road began to be laid out as streets and houses, from 1828 on. It was big enough to accommodate attractive Victorian and Edwardian houses as well as industry. The prime sites for these houses were, however, on the opposite side of the new St. John\u2019s Park, well away from the brick, tile and pottery sites -which clung to the London Road and Station Road (also then known as Potters Lane).<\/p>\n

The conservation area concentrates on Upper St. John\u2019s Road, Park Road and, built a bit later on, Crescent Road. Other even-finer residences were built at the west end of what became Leylands Road (formerly known as Lye Lane) but, apart from Marle Place which still stands and is in Local Authority use, they have since been pulled down.<\/p>\n

The examples below are of late-Victorian and Edwardian buildings around St. John’s Park, one of the first areas of Burgess Hill to be developed for the incoming middle classes. The park and the (latterly) white-painted ‘Park Centre’ were both donated to the town by benefactress Emily Temple in 1873. The redbrick pair, with decorative cream brick courses are part of a row in Lower Church Road which she also built. The pediment detail shown is a bold feature of the Providence Strict Baptist chapel, built opposite the park in 1875 by Simeon Norman.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

3. The Fairfield and Livingstone Road area<\/h4>\n

By the time that the western part of St. John\u2019s Common was laid out for housing and other uses, from 1857 to 1860, so many new families had flocked to the area for jobs in the brickworks or in the service industries that there was a shortage of housing for ordinary working families. The result was that the West Street and Fairfield Road areas as well as the western frontage to the London Road, opposite the Park, contains an interesting variety of \u2018artisan\u2019 housing. But because the new house plots which were put up for sale were only big enough to take one, two or, at most, three houses and because they were not all built upon at exactly the same time, the result is a pleasing variety of domestic house styles.<\/p>\n

Artisan housing began to be built from 1860 onwards around Fairfield Road after the enclosure of Clayton Common. The earliest phase of development was in West Street, including the Cricketers public house, which strangely, have been excluded from the Conservation Area. Next came the southern part of Fairfield Road and its adjoining streets. The entire development was a response to an urgent\u00a0 need to house all the incoming families who came to work in the town’s growing brick, tile, pottery and building industries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The \u2018Public Realm Assets\u2019 project<\/h2>\n

The Town Council took the initiative recently to identify what is left of our Victorian and Edwardian heritage, and also to create a record of the locations and the building phases of the earlier cottages and farmhouses and cottages that are still standing in Burgess Hill. A start has at least been made. The initial list has been published.<\/p>\n

In an email dated 12th February 2021, Judy Pointing of the Burgess Hill Town Council asked Fred Avery if he would help with a heritage project. On the web site of the Sussex Heritage Trust<\/a> she had found that they were promoting a campaign to record \u2018Public Realm Assets\u2019. She felt that Burgess Hill should participate and she suggested that Fred would be the ideal person, with his profound knowledge of the Town, that he might compile a list of its heritage buildings and other items of note.<\/p>\n

Fred Avery tells the story:<\/p>\n

The following day, I agreed to make a start, beginning with listing the old red telephone boxes which the Town Council had already bought and which were being adapted, with the involvement of residents in the immediate vicinity of each box, for community use. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

There were four other categories: \u00a01. Farmhouses and cottages; 2. Victorian and Edwardian Buildings 3. Churches and Schools; 4. Plaques, terra cotta and street furniture.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Town Council appointed Emily Bryant to photograph all the items on my list, to create a record to be kept by the Town Council and a duplicate by the Heritage and History Association. On 22nd<\/sup> April 2021 I completed a list of everything that came to mind in each of the categories and Emily is taking photos of almost everything listed in her own time. It will be necessary to get permission from some private properties.<\/em><\/p>\n

One detached building of which I had no previous knowledge is hidden behind shops in London Road and believed to be a brewery dating back to the mid 1870s. It belonged to Thomas Stroud Saunders from Twickenham who was supplying alcoholic drinks to the Victoria Pleasure Gardens from 1898.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

If you notice or know of anything in and around the town that you feel should be added, do let the Town Council know.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Some visual aspects of our past<\/h3>\n

We have made a start on identifying what is still standing and visible throughout the town of Burgess Hill, both at its heart in the Town Centre in its surrounding residential areas.<\/p>\n

In our project to highlight how ancient and modern features of Burgess Hill\u2019s history can be found side by side throughout the town, we have produced a map showing our fairly recent built heritage and our rural past when our area was almost entirely agricultural, such as the standing (and fallen) trees which mark old hedge lines, old boundaries etc along with images showing the present day, most of which local residents will immediately recognise. To get a flavour of our work go to our Visual Heritage<\/a> page, for a more in-depth view go to Visual Heritage – more detail<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The early stages<\/h2>\n

The processes by which the town of Burgess Hill came into being, out of the old St. John\u2019s Common and, once the railway had come, the story of how it spread onto the hill of Burgess Hill, is told in detail elsewhere. To find out more about this:\u00a0 Go to the \u2018Birth of the Town<\/a>\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The even earlier stages<\/h2>\n

In which the community of old St. John\u2019s Common thrived here from Anglo-Saxon times onwards is told in a series of articles which touch on major subjects like religion, the Reformation, the rise of the industry and the struggles of the rural poor. brick and tile trade here, rural poverty and unrest \u2013 as well as describing the background of their daily lives .<\/p>\n

Heather has written a precis of our rural history, showing something of the lives of those who formerly lived on the land on which Burgess Hill now stands. It springs from her life time of work and research as a local archivist and Adult Education teacher. It is a story of a community, settled from Anglo-Saxon or early medieval times, linked by the common at their heart and united in the struggle to win a living from a tough clay soil.\u00a0 But the same community was divided into different manors and parishes and, as time went on, by their place in the social order, rich or poor. Aspects of their lives, how they farmed, how they worshipped, or the effects of King Henry VIIIth\u2019s Reformation are brought to life by 6 further essays which examine the local details of our early history \u2013 all of this gradually evolving for around 1000 years before the Town was born.<\/p>\n

Signs and indications and the general legacy of our rural past are \u2018hidden in plain sight\u2019. They are visibly threaded through the Burgess Hill we see today, but one needs to know something of the main story to know what we are looking at. It is an important but, if recent experience is relevant, elusive subject to get a grip on. Since 2013 we have lost two iconic timber-framed buildings each of which played a prominent role in our earlier community. Since the 1950s when Burgess Hill began to be developed, we have lost many more. We must not lose any more as a result of our general ignorance. Let\u2019s now shine a light on the markers of our past.\u00a0To read about it, \u00a0Go to Earlier History<\/a><\/p>\n
