Heath Avenue, The Park

Where the Park development is now built was a Chicken Factory. The entrance to the factory is where Heath Avenue is now located.

This land, between the High Street and the Brook, was originally part of Manor Farm. The factory, in which hens were prepared, was opened in 1958; it went through various changes of ownership over the next 50 years, including Buxted Chicken Ltd, before being replaced by The Park in about 2013.
