HAYWARDS HEATH UNITED SERVICES CLUB

A FRIENDLY CLUB IN THE HEART OF SUSSEX

Welcome to Haywards Heath United Services Club

A Brief History

Haywards Heath United Services Club was founded on 6th June 1921 after the Mid Sussex branch of the Comrades of the Great War was disbanded. A wooded area, where The Broadway becomes Perrymount Road, made way for the original club premises - a tin hut erected by ex-servicemen. The club was opened by Lord Leconfield (Lord Lieutenant of Sussex), who was recieved by Colonel Stephen R Clarke (President) and Mr W L Knowles (Chairman) with a guard of honour by members of "A" Company 4th Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment.

The site was sold off in the 1960s and re-developed (with neighbouring buildings the British Legion, Miller's furnishing store and houses) to become the office block Capital House.
The United Services Club were able to buy a haulage yard on Wivelsfield Road owned by the Andrew Brothers. The new premises were constructed by Thomas White and opened in 1973. Later on, two neighbouring houses were bought in order to extend the car park at the rear of the building
