History
The Princess Royal Hospital was purpose built to replace the aging Cuckfield and Haywards Heath hospitals, both located to the far side of Haywards Heath to the current hospital, in the grounds of St Francis Hospital, a mental hospital which had stood on the site since 1859, and was originally named the Sussex County Lunatic Asylum.
The original St Francis hospital was closed and redeveloped for housing the 1990s.
