    3. Hi Adele, You need a combination of www.streetmap.co.uk, www.old_maps.co.uk and Google maps. On streetmap find Pasture Hill Road. You will see a pond between Pasture Hill Road and Lucastes Avenue. Go to old-maps, search for Haywards Heath and click near this pond to centre your map. Then click on the 1960-1970 Post-WWII Kent 1:2500 map. Right next to the pond on the Lucastes Avenue side is Pasture Hill. If you go back to streetmap you can see that the building appears to still be there. Go to Google maps and find Lucastes Avenue. Pop the little green man in front of Pasture Hill and you can see the house. I don't know if it is the original house and you can't see an awful lot of it but you might be able to do further research from this info. I don't think it is called Pasture Hill any more as I can only find postcodes for numbered houses on this road (from www.royalmail.com) - somewhere around number 50. Anyway hope this helps.
